A federal judge has signed off on an $8 million judgment in favor of a New York City police officer who was brutally beaten both inside and outside his own home while he was off duty by group of fellow officers who responded to a 911 call.
The total judgment for plaintiff Larry Jackson includes more than $2.6 million in prejudgment interest, which adds to $5.4 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
In 2016, a jury handed up an eye-popping $15 million verdict for Jackson. But in August, U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen of the Eastern District of New York found that the $12.5 million in compensatory damages contained in the verdict was excessive and reduced it to $2.75 million.
