DESCRIPTION:APPEAL BY FAMILY OF KAYLA MOORE IN CASE AGAINST BERKELEY COPS ALLOWED TO 
 PROCEED\n\nArguments will be heard by judges for the 9t​ h​ Circuit 
 Courts of Appeals on January 9, 2020, and a coalition of organizations 
 supporting the family of Kayla Moore is calling on the community to show up 
 in court and demand that a jury be allowed to hear this case in which a 
 Berkeley woman died at the hands of Berkeley Police.\n\nOn February 12, 
 2013, Kayla Moore was in her apartment with her caretaker when BPD officers 
 knocked on her door to do a “wellness check” because a friend had 
 called police saying that he was concerned about her behavior. Within 
 minutes, Kayla was face down and suffocating under a pile of six officers. 
 Kayla died just after midnight. In the six years since she was killed, no 
 officer has been disciplined and no policy has been changed. There is no 
 reason to believe that this will be the last time that a person with a 
 mental health disability suffers from inappropriate and disproportionate 
 Berkeley police response.\n\nThe Moore family sued the BPD officers in 
 Federal court in 2013. In March 2018, Judge Charles Breyer threw out the 
 entire case, denying the family a trial before a jury. The Moore family 
 then filed an appeal, which has only now made its way to the 9th Circuit 
 Court of Appeals. The family and legal counsel are confident that the 
 conflicting evidence in the case—including the cops changing their 
 stories, and experts disagreeing about the cause of death—necessitates 
 that the case go before a jury.\n
