Headline Civil Rights News: Family of Jason Gomez v. Orange County Sheriff's Department et al. Jose Gomez, the father of Jason Gomez, talks about the death of his son who died of a severe beating and blunt force trauma to the head while at the Theo Lacy Jail in Orange County, California. On March 19, 2008, Jason Gomez voluntarily turned himself in to authorities at the jail for a minor probation violation. On March 24, 2008, the Orange County Register reports, Jason Gomez telephoned his father with the following ominous message: "Dad, please don't hang up. This officer here is going to kill me." On April 1, 2008, thirteen days later, Jason Gomez was mysteriously found dead in the jail. Jose Gomez and his lawyers, Stephen Bernard and David Brown, powerfully talk about this case and the alleged misconduct of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. Stephen Bernard joined his father, Saul J. Bernard, at the Bernard Law practice after attending the University of Southern California and Southwestern University School of Law. As lead counsel he has guided the firm to the forefront of class action, civil litigation, and criminal defense. Mr. Bernard also represents major art collectors and dealers in international transactions involving some of the great art of our time. His broad expertise and extraordinary record have made him a formidable figure in the California legal arena. |
