Jail Lawsuit Discovery Delay

Attorneys for a former St. Clair County jail inmate, Lisa Brown, have agreed to delay the discovery deadline in her federal lawsuit by four months, pushing it to July. Brown is suing St. Clair County, the jail, and a health provider after a 2021 fall in the jail left her partially paralyzed. She claims the jail’s delayed medical care worsened her condition. Both sides are preparing witness lists, including medical experts, as they continue reviewing her injuries. The delay allows more time for gathering evidence and depositions.
