The family of Earl Moore, a Springfield, Illinois, man killed by paramedics on a 911 call, will sue both medics involved in addition to their employer.

Prosecutors have separately charged Cadigan and Finley with first-degree murder, accusing them of tightly strapping Moore on a stretcher after Springfield police, who initially responded to a 911 call at Moore's home, requested an ambulance. Under Illinois law, a first-degree murder charge can be filed when a defendant"knows that such acts create a strong probability of death or great bodily harm.""They tied him down like some kind of animal and killed him," she said.

The family of an Illinois man killed by two paramedics are reportedly suing both the medics themselves and the ambulance company. A woman who answered the phone at LifeStar Ambulance Service's office and did not provide her name declined to comment. Cadigan and Finley remain in the Sangamon County jail on $1 million bond each. They appeared via video for a brief court appearance Thursday, but no additional details of the case were discussed. They were scheduled to appear again Friday morning.After Sangamon County prosecutors filed the charges this month, Springfield police released the videos which show a woman inside Moore's home telling police that he is in withdrawal from alcohol and hallucinating. Police then call for an ambulance.
