San Diego Tries to Void an $85 Million Award to the Family of a Man Who Died in Police Restraint

Posted on May 2, 2022 by The National Trial Lawyers

San Diego County lawyers are seeking to wipe out an $85 million jury award to the family of man who died after being restrained by sheriff’s deputies in 2015, or get a new trial in the lawsuit that generated the case.
