This tragic incident, which the police say was partially caused by a man out on bond, has left the young athlete fighting for justice and seeking damages from the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Janae Edmondson, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/teen-who-lost-legs-in-car-accident-sues-st-louis-after-man-allegedly-responsible-was-out-on-bond\/\" title=\"Teen sues St. Louis after accident; responsible man out on bond.\">talented high school volleyball player<\/a>, was competing in a tournament in St. Louis when she found herself pinned between two cars in February. The collision, caused by 21-year-old Daniel Riley, who was out on bond for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/soros-backed-prosecutor-kim-gardner-resigns\/\" title=\"Kim Gardner, a prosecutor supported by Soros, steps down.\">armed robbery case<\/a>, led to a chain reaction that ultimately resulted in Edmondson losing both her legs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lawsuit filed by Edmondson and her family states that this tragic accident could have been prevented. Riley, who had violated the terms of his bond multiple times, was driving a vehicle that collided with another car, causing it to strike Edmondson. The lawsuit seeks to hold the city accountable for negligence in allowing Riley to be out on bond despite his repeated violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The ordeal brought waves of negative publicity and eventually, among other incidents, led to the resignation of St. Louis&#8217; top prosecutor, Kim Gardner. Now, Janae Edmondson is seeking damages from the city, as she accuses the government of negligence.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/07S87qImqU\">https:\/\/t.co\/07S87qImqU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 St. Louis Business Journal (@stlouisbiz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/stlouisbiz\/status\/1671673197891125248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 22, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The defendants in the case include St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones, Daniel Riley, and the other driver involved in the accident.

This blatant disregard for the conditions of his bond ultimately led to the tragic accident that changed Edmondson&#8217;s life forever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The armed robbery case against Riley, which dates back to 2020, is still ongoing. The former prosecutor, Kim Gardner, faced criticism for allowing Riley to be out of jail despite the serious charges against him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Riley has pleaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksdk.com\/article\/news\/crime\/crash-daniel-riley-plead-not-guilty-janae-edmondson\/63-de7a0611-b60a-4008-9c06-d691d6ae6a20#:~:text=Daniel%20Riley%20to%20plead%20not%20guilty%20for%20crash%20that%20critically,18.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not guilty<\/a> to charges related to the crash and is still facing the armed robbery case. The lawsuit aims to bring justice to Edmondson and ensure that Riley is held accountable for his actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both drivers involved in the accident, Riley and Elizabeth Smith, were driving without valid or suspended driver&#8217;s licenses and were speeding, according to the lawsuit. Edmondson also holds the city responsible for the dangerous roadway where the accident occurred, further emphasizing the need for accountability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the immense challenges she faces, Edmondson&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cia-chief-putin-thinks-he-cant-afford-to-lose-in-ukraine-could-soon-double-down\/\" title=\"CIA Chief: Putin Thinks He \u201cCan\u2019t Afford to Lose\u201d in Ukraine, Could Soon Double Down\">spirit remains unbroken<\/a>. After spending 40 days in the hospital, she has shown incredible strength and resilience. She had been accepted into the University of Tennessee Southern to play volleyball and has now received a partial scholarship to Middle Tennessee State University to continue her involvement in the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a heartwarming display of support, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/pray-for-janae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoFundMe<\/a> campaign started by Edmondson&#8217;s family has raised over $800,000 to assist with her recovery.
