Bennett vs. Southern Pacific Railroad

Filed in November 1987 lost in January 1991 

This case was a personal injury case when Pete Bennett rolled an Southern Pacific Railroad right of way near the intersection of Freed Way and Bliss Ave Pittsburg CA during late August 1987. Bennett suffered a near fatal subdural hematoma. Taken to Los Medanos Hospital where he spent five days in ICU.  

No one expected Bennett to survive or return to a normal life. 

Years later Bennett learned his key witness who failed to show up in court had been murdered on Sunshine Drive in Concord. His body was taken to the morgue but there is no Autopsy, then learned that Contra Costa County covered all the facts to the point you can't find a single shed of information on Floyd Brown Jr., shot dead and simply disappeared. 

Then one day via Findagrave his full name, details, age and date of death appeared.  

The responsible parties are public officials and many have been indicted and convicted.
