and frequently represents the families of Black men killed by police, is representing 35-year-old Earl Moore’s family in the lawsuit against Peter Cadigan, Peggy Finley, and LifeStar Ambulance Service. Speaking to reporters, Crump said police video of the paramedics’ interactions with Moore showed “barbaric” behavior.
Peter Cadigan, Peggy Finley, and LifeStar Ambulance Service are being sued for the death of Earl Moore.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.
A woman who answered the phone at LifeStar Ambulance Service’s office and did not provide her name declined to comment. After Sangamon County prosecutors filed the charges this month, Springfield police released the videos which show a woman inside Moore’s home told police that he is in withdrawal from alcohol and hallucinating. Police then call for an ambulance.
