Although not reported, a case decided today by the 6th Circuit offers a short and sweet pronouncement in a case where the Plaintiff appealed only dismissal of the county in a jail suicide case. Since the officers were not found liable for a violation of Plaintiff's deceased's rights the county cannot be liable. https://www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/20a0023n-06.pdf [cid:image001.png@01D5CBC0.34765FB0] Charles W.
