SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill has requested the FBI’s assistance in the investigation into the arrest of a Utah nurse who refused to allow a blood draw from an unconscious patient without following proper procedure. In a statement released Thursday, Gill said his office officially requested the FBI investigate: “any and all individuals involved in the chain of conduct arising from the incident at the University of Utah Hospital on July 26, 2017 for any Civil Rights Violations under the color of authority.” Gill said he requested the FBI’s help due to events beyond a mere criminal investigation.

Normally, you'd expect the local prosecutor to be adequate. However, they would have no jurisdiction to charge the Logan PD or the Utah highway patrol. In such cases, you'd normally see the Utah attorney general investigate the case. However, if the Utah highway patrol was involved, the attorney general would be representing them in the primary case or on appeal in a higher court. Also telling is the mention that this goes beyond a criminal investigation. And what exactly might that be? I think it is a case of conspiracy to deprive the trucker of his constitutional rights and that it was instigated by the Utah highway patrol with the Logan PD who then requested Payne's supervisor to get the blood for them and he sent Payne out to do it. Which is when he assaulted and arrested the nurse, violating her rights as well. The FBI has long experience in cases involving conspiracy to deprive people of their constitutional rights. It is almost exclusively a federal matter.
Monstrous punitive damages in civil litigation. The municipality is on the hook, big time. Consider the possibility of looking back to find cases where the nurse did not say NO.
Maybe she operated an illegal lemonade stand when she was a kid? Book 'em Danno!

Well, aside from what an investigation may show about prior actions of the cops, a prior nurse or hospital could be involved in prohibited disclosures of information.
