King County settles case involving Deputies who pushed man into wall, causing brain damage, for $10,000,000, during trial
1-25-11 A man who suffered catastrophic brain injuries after being chased by King County deputies, who mistakenly thought he was involved in an earlier altercation in Seattle, will receive $10,000,000 from King County. The man was pushed into a wall outside a theater by a deputy dressed in black "tactical" clothes and there was disputed testimony over whether the deputies properly identified themselves as police officers. The plaintiff will need around the clock care for the rest of his life. Attorney Sim Osborn filed suit against King County and the trial was being held in Pierce County Superior Court, to avoid a conflict of interest. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014031804_settlement26m...
