BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A Baltimore County judge has overturned a $38 million wrongful death award to the family of Korryn Gaines.
Gaines was shot and killed by Baltimore County Police in 2016 during a six-hour standoff at her Randallstown apartment, after pointing a shotgun at officers trying to serve an arrest warrant.
Her family sued Baltimore County Police, claiming that officers used excessive force when they fatally shot her and injured her 5-year-old son, Kodi.
The jury sided with the family.
One year ago, Gaines’ family was awarded $38 million in damages, including $33 million to her son, Kodi, $4.5 million to her daughter, Karsyn, and $9,000 to her parents and estate.

The jury case is another example of feelings over substance.
Awesome .
A judge that looked at the facts and ruled in accordance with the facts and not sympathy, since the Mother created and was the cause of the reaction.
The jury of six women...
This was unfair given the predisposition of women to side with other women, especially those with children. This case tugged at hearts.
