Question Details: An infant was smothered and the guy confessed to doing it before he was killed but the medical examiner wont change the death certificate from undetermined to homicide.
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. You need to hire a lawyer to investigate to determine whether you have the ability to file a wrongful death claim. Presuming that the guy admitted to it, you can use that as evidence of the claim notwithstanding the medical examiner. I suggest hiring a lawyer asap to get this going and to take the deposition of the guy that admitted to the smothering to get him on record in case he dies. the question is who can you collect money from and whether there is enough to collect.

Are you a lawyer?
