¶51. What standard determines whether the conduct of the officer in this case violated the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs decedent?

¶62. Applying that standard, is the ultimate determination of whether the constitution was violated by the officer’s conduct to be made by the court or by a jury?

¶73. May the municipality be found liable for violating the constitutional rights of the plaintiffs decedent by its own conduct or policies in hiring and/or failing to train Officer Farr, even if the officer’s conduct did not violate the constitutional rights of decedent?
