Camden (NJ) Superior Court judge Charles A. Little dismissed a lawsuit against former dispatcher Marie Cupparo and the city of Camden, saying state law provides immunity for them in this situation. The suit was filed by the family of Christin Eberle, who was kidnapped from a transit station and murdered by two men in 2001, and a witness dialed 911 to report it. However, according to Camden police, Cupparo failed to dispatch officers, who believed it was a disagreement that apparently didn’t require a police response. The two suspects were caught and convicted, and are served 43-year sentences in prison. The region’s transit agency reached a confidential settlement with the family last week. The family’s attorney says they will appeal.
