Unsuccessful Lawsuits Against McHenry County

A Crystal Lake woman, Michelle Smith, today lost a lawsuit against the McHenry County for a second time.

According to information provided by State’s Attorney Louis A. Bianchi, Ms. Smith first sued McHenry County Sheriff and three corrections officers in Federal Court, resulting in a dismissal in Defendant 's favor.

Today the State Court dismissed another lawsuit against the County. The Honorable Judge Meyer found that the prior victory obtained by the State’s Attorney’s Office in Federal Court barred Ms. Smith’s wrongful death case in State Court. The recently dismissed State case was defended by Assistant State’s Attorney Donald B. Leist.
