Cal Skinner has a great article on www.mchenrycountyblog.com with the response from the ammunition company being sued by Deputy Eric Woods of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. You can read quoted portions of the response by the ammo company on Cal's blog. Woods was injured in a "shoot room" at the firing range of the McHenry County Sheriff's Department last year.
In Woods' suit in Federal Court in Rockford, he goes after the manufacturer of the bullet, the fragments of which injured him.
The ammo company says, "Not us" and blames the sheriff's department for its "...negligence, wonton (sic) and willful, intentional or other culpable conduct..."
Isn't this what many of us thought, after Woods was injured?
The Sheriff's Department could not find the threatening-dog paper target used in the exercise in which Eric Woods was shot. It would presumably have similar bullet holes. How does it happen that an important pice of "evidence" didn't get collected and saved by those who investigated the circumstances of Woods' injury?
At the time I was greatly disappointed in the extent and the quality of the "investigation". Frankly, it was a piece of ____ (fill in the blank).

You would think with all that was written about this incident that Woods would just let it go. He obviously is looking for free money. Sounds to me like the people at fault are the supervisors and the Sheriff. Woods wouldn't dare sue them. I wonder if the Sheriff gets a cut if Woods collects. He gets a cut of everything else.
