GUILTY MD - Korryn Gaines, 23, fatally shot by Baltimore police, 1 Aug 2016

A jury of six women found that the first shot from the police officer who fired at Gaines was not reasonable, and therefore violated her and her son’s civil rights under state and federal statutes. The jury awarded more than $32 million to Kodi in damages, $4.5 million for his sister, Karsyn, and smaller amounts to other family members.

Baltimore County is asking a judge for a new trial in the lawsuit brought by the family of Korryn Gaines, the Randallstown woman killed by police in 2016, after losing a judgment of more than $38 million last month.

The county also is asking a judge to reduce the amount of the award — considered one of the largest ever against Baltimore-area police.
