A Napa County jury hit the county with a verdict of more than half a million dollars this week in a case where a former county prosecutor claimed he was fired because he asked his superiors to accommodate his disabilities.
Jose Rossi spent more than 22 years as an assistant deputy district attorney in Napa County before he was fired in December 2014. Rossi sued the county in July 2015, claiming that he was discriminated against because of his age, his disabilities and his endorsement of a candidate running against then-incumbent District Attorney Gary Lieberstein.
