Jury Finds Deputy Not Liable In Md. Stun Gun Death

(CBS/AP)  
BALTIMORE - A federal jury in Baltimore has found a former Frederick County sheriff's deputy is not liable in a case stemming from a man's death after he was shocked twice with an electric stun gun.
The 10-member panel announced its verdict Wednesday.
The jury found that although former Cpl. Rudy Torres assaulted Jarrel Gray, Torres was shielded from liability because his actions were in defense of himself or others and that he only used the amount of force reasonably necessary to protect himself.
