Did Philly Police Officer Elizabeth Skala Kill Transgender Woman Nizah Morris?

Two days after the "courtesy ride" by police on December 22, 2002 Nizah died in a Philadelphia hospital of a subdural hematoma.

The police say they know nothing about how Nizah Morris's injury claiming they simply dropped her off at 16th and Walnut because she asked to be, but the family isn't having any of it. There are too many questions left unanswered, too many discrepancies to the police  accounts and  records that would have proved the police official line? They were conveniently lost until recently when they were "found".

Source Wiki: On December 22, Morris attended a party at the Key West Bar at the intersection of Juniper and Chancellor streets in Philadelphia. Morris left the bar at 2:00 a.m., and collapsed outside of the bar due to intoxication. Onlookers formed a group around Morris—who could not stand without assistance and had to be supported, according to witnesses—and waited for paramedics for approximately 20 minutes.
A 6th District police officer arrived, canceled the prior call for paramedics when Morris declined to go to a hospital, and offered her a courtesy ride to a hospital. Morris declined a ride to the hospital and asked to be taken home. Witnesses at the scene reportedly helped her into the police cruiser.

Though Morris lived in the 5000 block of Walnut Street, police officers reported that she asked to be let out at 15th and Walnut streets, left the patrol car, and began walking toward 16th Street.

Minutes later, a passing motorist discovered Morris lying on the sidewalk, bleeding from the right side of her forehead. A call was placed to 911, and a 9th District officer arrived at the scene, but did not call a supervisor or treat the event as a crime.

Morris was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition. On December 23, 2002, she was removed from life support, and at 8:30 p.m. on December 24, 2002, Nizah Morris was pronounced dead.[3]
