A 101-year-old woman killed in 2013 when a St. Paul police officer backed a squad into her is responsible for her own death, the City of St. Paul said in court documents.
Roza Sakhina was struck by officer Lori Lin Goulet on Aug. 16, 2013, and died five days later. Sakhina's family filed a wrongful death suit in January against Goulet and the city, alleging that Goulet acted in a "negligent manner so as to collide with Roza Sakhina, a pedestrian."
In its answer to the suit, the city attorney's office denied any negligence on Goulet's part.
