I'm interested in seeing how this all turns out.

Native Detroiter here. And yeah, I laughed when I heard it was Fieger. He'll grab any high profile case he can.. and this is exactly his cup of tea. They're asking for over a million dollars for wrongful death and mental distress of the boy.
I really can see both sides. If 1/3 of their calls are pranks and they sent resources to every one of those calls, it's likely others would die because the resources they needed were sent on a prank call. Perhaps prosecuting the prank calls and making the consequences well known would be a good idea? In the meantime, Detroit is so bankrupt that they've cut fire and police services...
