Texas Supreme Court weighs UIW immunity in Redus case
The Texas Supreme Court heard arguments over whether the University of the Incarnate Word is immune from a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Cameron Redus family. Redus, 23, was fatally shot by UIW police officer Christopher Carter after a 2013 off campus traffic stop near his San Antonio residence. The family argues UIW as a private, nonpublic-fund institution should not have governmental immunity. UIW contends officers are state-licensed. A Bexar County grand jury did not indict Carter.
