A new court filing says Sheriff Kelly Martinez’s testimony is critical to establishing responsibility for deficiencies in the jails' healthcare system
Lawyers suing the San Diego County Sheriff's Department are asking a federal judge to compel Sheriff Kelly Martinez to submit to a deposition and answer questions about jail practices and conditions under oath. According to a declaration filed in San Diego federal court, Martinez has not been made available over several weeks for a formal deposition.
The lawsuit initially filed by a formerly incarcerated man named Darryl Dunsmore seeks to force San Diego County to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act when housing people with disabilities. It has since expanded to cover all previous, current and future prisoners to ensure they are properly housed, fed and treated.
