Lawsuit Targets Douglas Shooter's Mental Health

(15 Jun 2018) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus099206 In an effort to reveal any missteps which could have prevented the Parkland tragedy, parents of Helena Ramsay are suing a health facility which treated Nicolas Cruz to obtain his private mental health records. "This morning we filed in Broward County circuit court what we call a petition for pure bill of discovery." Said attorney Craig Goldenfarb.   "(We will request) a judge to order Henderson Behavioral Health to disclose the mental health records for Nicolas Cruz.  The purpose in doing that is to have those records looked at.  Both by me and both by an expert if necessary to determine if Henderson Behavior Health could have done something to prevent Mr. Cruz from his murderous rampage, he said. An attorney for Henderson told the AP the company supports release of the Cruz records but needs a judge to issue a court order allowing it. Health records are generally covered by state and federal privacy laws but can be released in criminal and civil court cases. Since Cruz is not a plaintiff in any civil cases, Walker said a judge must order their release. Walker said the company would support a court order allowing attorneys for all victims' families who file lawsuits to have access to Cruz's records. Prosecutors and defense attorneys in Cruz's criminal case have already obtained the records, but they have not been released publicly.
