(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Supreme Court has thrown out a lawsuit against the D-C-I by a Marion County man who was accused of killing his mother. Jason Carter was found liable in a civil action for the wrongful death of his mother Shirley Carter in 2015 and was ordered to pay ten million dollars to her estate. Another jury acquitted Carter on the criminal murder charge. Carter filed the lawsuit accusing the D-C-I agent who investigated the murder of wrongly targeting him. The Iowa Supreme Court dismissed that lawsuit based on its recent ruling that overturned a 2017 opinion allowing such claims. The High Court says under their recent ruling, the D-C-I agent has immunity and Carter’s case cannot proceed.
