Supreme Court of Minnesota April 17, 1997, CX-95-1872 (Terwilliger v. Hennepin County)

OPINION

KEITH, Chief Justice.

This matter presents the question of whether defendants Hennepin County, doing business as the Hennepin County Mental Health Center, and its employee, Dr. Keith Horton, a psychiatrist, are entitled to either statutory or official immunity for alleged negligence in treating a depressed patient who ultimately committed suicide in his home.
