Tuesday's decision reverses a lower court decision that threw out the lawsuit on the basis that police didn't have a duty to wrongdoers they're chasing. As a result of the ruling, Torrie's family will be able to sue Weber County Deputy Denton Harper, who chased the boy. The ruling didn't settle the lawsuit itself or determine whether Harper breached his duty. Instead, it merely said a duty exists. Torrie's family will not be able to sue the Weber County Sheriff's office.
