Carmona Is Right to Sue for Losses
* Re “Carmona Sues Over Robbery Conviction,” (Dec. 12):
Arthur Carmona basically was told, “OK, you didn’t commit the crimes, but don’t you ever get in trouble, and by the way, sign this release of our liability if you want to go home.” These were absolutely reprehensible words and demands on the part of the Costa Mesa and Irvine police departments.
If ever anyone was justified in bringing suit and deserves compensation for the loss of irreplaceable years in his young life, it is Carmona and his family.
