Castle Rock v. Gonzales

Wednesday Jan 20, 2021
In 1999, in Castle Rock, Colorado, Jessica Gonzales is granted a restraining order against her soon to be ex-husband to protect her and her children. But just a few weeks later, her ex-husband would kidnap their three daughters. This night would prove to be Jessica's worst nightmare. After almost a dozen phone calls and in person visits to the police station to beg for help in getting her kids back, Jessica would be dismissed and even scolded by police officers for bothering them. Ignoring the restraining order would eventually lead to the children's murder. This is the story of one mother's fight for basic human rights of protection and how law enforcement should treat restraining orders and victims. The ultimate blow comes from the Supreme Court's decision in Castle Rock v. Gonzales. Join us as we explore the rights of domestic violence victims, qualified immunity for law enforcement, and how this went beyond just the Supreme Court.
