Family files federal civil rights lawsuit, claims Denver deputies ignored cries for help from their loved one

A Denver family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City and County of Denver, alleging deputies ignored their loved one's cries for help as another inmate, Ricky Lee Roybal-Smith, strangled him to death in a jail cell. The lawsuit claims Roybal-Smith, a repeat offender high on methamphetamine, was placed in the same cell as Vincent Chacon, a non-violent inmate, leading to his preventable death.
