By Keith Whitney
One of those killed was a Georgia woman, Brooke Melton. It was her case and her family’s attorney, Lance Cooper, who with the help of engineer Mark Hood, brought the faulty ignition switch to light.
Senators acknowledged his work today.
“Mr.Cooper finally confronted General Motors with the facts someone at General Motors had switched out the unsafe ignition switches in several car models and covered it up.”
