Ep. 62 - Karen Garner and the Downfall of Loveland PD, Featuring Sarah Schielke
Ooh boy, this one's a sizzler. First, the backstory: in episode 56, Colin and Russ discussed the widely-publicized assault on Karen Garner, an elderly woman with dementia, by officers of the Loveland Police Department in Colorado. In this episode, the guys are joined by Karen's attorney, Sarah Schielke, fresh off securing a three-million dollar settlement from the city of Loveland to recompense Karen for her hardship. Sarah breaks down the initial criminal case against Karen, the civil suit Karen's family appointed Sarah to handle subsequently, and the ongoing criminal cases against the Loveland officers involved in the assault. Get your popcorn, and settle in.
