A federal jury in Atlanta has awarded $100 million to a panhandler who fell and broke his neck after a police officer shocked him with a stun gun during a chase
The city has filed a motion for a directed verdict. A ruling from a judge on that motion may amend the jury’s verdict.
Blasingame’s conservator, Keith Edwards, sued the city of Atlanta and the officer, Jon Grubbs, for the cost of his past and future medical bills. Grubbs stepped out of the patrol car and told Blasingame to stop, but he moved out of the street to a guard rail, and Grubbs ran toward him, according to the lawsuit.
“This is how an officer gets away with excessive force,” he told the jury in his closing argument. “You bury it.”
