City of Brownsville v. Alvarado3/30/1995
police chief was admitted concerning the placement of cameras in the jail and why they were not placed in the cells. The fact of the jailers' failure to perform CPR was admitted, as was the coroner's opinion that revival is improbable when a person's pupils are fixed and dilated. The jury was able to consider the entire sequence of events and the behavior of the jailers from the time Ricardo was arrested until the paramedics arrived after his death. The City's Jail Procedures Manual was admitted in evidence as was the jailers' testimony that booking took priority over cell checks, and that they had seen nothing indicating to them that Ricardo was suicidal. The jury was also presented with the Alvarados' expert's testimony that the jailers had acted negligently in giving booking priority over cell checks. In other words, the jury was presented with all the evidence from which one could argue that the jailers failed to implement the policy established by the City. Considering all the evidence, admitted and excluded, we conclude that the Alvarados did not demonstrate that the trial court's evidentiary rulings probably caused the rendition of an improper judgment.
Accordingly, for the reasons explained above, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals, and render judgment that the Alvarados take nothing.
