I don't think he's going to win. It'll be interesting if he does. Maybe he should win, but it wont be easy.

If he was denied water and force to drink from a toilet instead, I hope he becomes a millionaire. There is no excuse for that kind of treatment, no matter how heinous the crime and especially if it it was a questionable charge in the first place.

I wasn't thinking about those parts since he was going after the officer that arrested him and the two that told that officer to arrest him. Other than putting in jail, I didn't think they were responsible for that treatment. That would be the jailers and it didn't say he was going after them.

I have worked on many similar cases. Unfortunately he will face hurdles such as governmental tort claims limits and procedures, insurance issues, and years of litigation.
