The family of a hit-and-run victim is suing the Cook County Sheriff's Department.Last year, 40-year-old Tiffany Borre was hit by a car around 2:30 a.m. while crossing the street near Mannheim Road and Nevada Avenue in Leyden Township.
Shortly after the collision, the Cook County Sheriff's Department located a vehicle that had damage consistent with the incident and identified a driver. But prosecutors declined to file charges, saying there was "insufficient evidence." The Borre family says they believe a Cook County sheriff’s deputy witnessed the incident, but failed to respond.
"The next step is making sure that this evidence that has been secured is produced to us, making sure that we know what evidence was presented to the state's attorney's office, and to hold everyone accountable," said Stephanie L. White, Borre family attorney.Attorneys say they have faced several roadblocks in obtaining all the evidence and reports in this case.
The family was also reportedly presented with a waiver asking them to release the sheriff's department from all liability."The Cook County Sheriff’s Office conducted a complete and thorough criminal investigation into the hit and run incident that led to tragic death of Tiffany Borre.
