MD. Court Upholds Police Brutality Verdict: Baltimore Police Beat Handcuffed Black Man & Delayed Medical Help

BALTIMORE -- The state's Court of Special Appeals upheld a multimillion dollar police brutality verdict against a Baltimore city police officer. In 2003, Albert Mosley filed a lawsuit claiming that an officer in the city's western district threw him head-first into a concrete wall while he was handcuffed in a holding cell. The Court found that the officer went into the cell, picked up Mr. Mosley in a bear hug and threw him face first at the concrete wall of the cell. It also found that Mosley was left lying on the floor for at least 45 minutes until an ambulance arrived. He is now paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, officials said. Mosley now needs around-the-clock care and, although he has regained some use of his arms, he has no use of his left leg and minor use of his right leg, the suit states. He said "I can do nothing for myself." His attorney, William "Billy" Murphy Jr., stated the city's refusal to pay thus far has prevented Albert from getting the quality care that he needs and deserves. Now that the Court of Special Appeals has denied the city's latest attempt to avoid liability, it is time for the city to step up and pay Albert for the life altering injuries that its officers caused." A jury originally awarded Mosley more than $44 million, but the verdict was reduced to $19 million. [MORE] and [MORE]
