What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
My mother committed suicide at the beginning of April. She left behind a note, along with a 6 page description of something that had happened with her previous employer, the reason that led to her committing suicide.
She worked for an armored car company.One day she was pulled in the office by 2 males, They asked her to hand over her cell phone, the work cell phone, and her keys. They locked her in a room. When they returned, they accused her of taking money out of the bags and sealing them back up. They said she was doing this within a 2 minute time frame, because she was only left alone for 2 minutes. She asked for her cell phone. They refused to give it back. She asked to call the cops, they refused to do that. She asked for water, they refused to give her water. She asked if she could call a lawyer, they wouldnt let her. She asked if she could use the bathroom, one of the guys walked her to the bathroom and stood right outside the stall. After she was finished, they walked her back into this room. They had a letter they typed up, saying that she was guilty of this, and they told her as long as she signed this, they'd let her go and they wouldnt pursue it further. She refused, and they said they werent letting her go until she did. Her wanting to leave, she signed it. They walked her out to her car, when she opened the car, they pushed her aside and went through her car. When they were finished, she got in and drove off.
The reason she committed suicide is because she was out of work for almost a year after this, they were fighting her on unemployment, and she eventually ran out of money, and I guess she felt that was her only option. In her suicide letter to the family, she gave names and asked we pursue this to the fullest extent possible.
I talked to a few people, and they said its a violation of her civil rights what they did. I want to honor my mothers wishes, but I dont want to go into anything, when she's passed on and all I have for her side is a letter. Another issue is she resided in Florida, and I'm in Maryland, and I'm pretty sure that if I pursue anything, I'd have to go to Florida for this?
Do I have anything to stand on? Do I have anything I could pursue, or should I leave it alone?
Any information would be appreciated
