JusticeNewsFlash.com–Two Huntington Beach police officers shot and killed 18 year-old Ashley MacDonald in 2006. Ashley’s parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking $40 million in compensatory and punitive damages for each parent reports the Los Angeles Times. The Orange County Sheriffs Department and the district attorney’s office cleared the officers citing they were forced to make a split second decision in fear of their lives.
