The Maryland Court of Appeals this week affirmed a jury verdict of over $200,000 in damages in favor of a husband and wife whose dog, a chocolate lab named Brandi, was illegally shot by police (thankfully, Brandi survived). The sheriffs deputy falsely claimed the dog was a threat and appeared to be on the attack. His testimony was disproven by his vehicle’s own video camera which showed that Brandi approached the officer wagging her tail and stopped before reaching him: “Chocolate Lab Brandi bounded toward a sheriff’s deputy. The deputy pulled a gun, Brandi stopped and appeared friendly. Then, the deputy shot her.” The jury found that the deputy “violated [the family’s] constitutional rights” and “acted with gross negligence.” I would have added more zeros. https://facebook/nathanwinograd/photos/a.159167054107547.34833.159092957448290/894236063933972/?type=1&relevant_count=1 Filed: December 16, 2014 * Judge Eldridge participated in the argument of this case but did not participate in the decision mdcourts.gov/opinions/cosa/2014/1499s12.pdf ************************* FOR MORE PUPPYCIDE INFORMATION: https://facebook/groups/FreezeDontShoot.CO/permalink/902574946443993/ FOLLOW THE PUPPYCIDE DATABASE BLOG FOR REPORTS ON FINDINGS.
