Wrongful Death Lawsuit


Why didn't Jada's character file a lawsuit against the police department for the killing of her brother? At least she didn't have to resort to bank heists.

That lawsuit would have paid out Millions for sure but would have taken years to work through the court system. She made a stupid decision, a fast, risky, sizable score vs. a few years of legal proceedings and working for that ‘Luther Janitorial Services’ jerk.
She would have had a huge settlement.

She may have just been extremely pissed off and wanted to mess with the system at that point. Imagine losing your brother in a hail of gunfire.

But she was also foolish. Just scrub toilets, clean mirrors, swab the floors, take out the trash and hang on for a few years. She could have been rich if she kept it legit.

Pretty good movie though👍
