In a distressing legal development, the widow of a deputy sheriff who tragically died during a training exercise has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Evansville Police Department and the Knox County Sheriff’s Department. The lawsuit, lodged in Vanderburgh Superior Court on September 3, alleges that the “hazing-styled exercise” known as “The Big Fight” exposed new recruits, including Asson Hacker, to unnecessary and dangerous conditions that ultimately led to his death.
