Annotate this CaseAlquwon Johnson committed suicide by hanging himself with a bed sheet while in custody at the Jail. Appellee, Alquwon's mother and personal representative, filed suit against corrections personnel working at the Jail at the time of his suicide, as well as others. Appellants subsequently filed this interlocutory appeal, challenging the denial of Alabama's state immunity pursuant to Alabama Code section 14-6-1. Because this appeal depended on questions of unsettled Alabama law, the court certified two questions to the Supreme Court of Alabama.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on June 13, 2014.
