Frank DeSalvo Trying Quotations

I see an incident of a man trying to be brought under control who doesn't want to be brought under control.

I understand his attorney is talking about using the suicide attempt, but I don't know how they'll get that information into a courtroom. I believe he's trying to use that to show negligent retention, making the city liable for hiring him and keeping him. But I don't think it's going to fly.
