Rose Denley
Rose Denley was the daughter of William and Mary Denley, who expected her to come home within days of her arrest and instead received word of her death at the Todd Road Jail in Ventura County, California. The family says she had told staff she wanted to jump and had earlier tried to go over a rail, and they have retained attorney Brad Gage to pursue a lawsuit. The death has been claimed as a suicide, and the family disputes that the jail responded adequately to the risk they say staff knew about.
