In a historic decision, a Baltimore County jury made up of women, compensated the Gaines’ family with a $37 Million judgment against the police for excessive force.
This is one of the largest judgments against the police in Maryland.
Korry Gaines was shot and killed. by the police in front of her young son.
Her family argued that the officer used excessive force and violated her constitutional rights.
The jury agreed and issued a surprising judgment.
Baltimore County is conservative compared to jurisdictions such as Baltimore City and Prince George’s county which makes the judgment all the more important.
