US EditionArmy officer pepper-sprayed during traffic stop asks for a new trial in his lawsuit against police
- A U.S. Army lieutenant is appealing to overturn rulings by a trial judge after jurors mostly sided with the two police officers he sued, despite being struck, pepper-sprayed, and handcuffed during a traffic stop in Virginia.
- Lt. Caron Nazario argues that the court erred in finding probable cause for the officers' actions and dismissing his claims of unreasonable seizure, excessive force, and First Amendment retaliation. He is also requesting a new trial based on erroneous jury instructions.
- The jury found the officers liable for assault, with Gutierrez responsible for compensatory damages and Crocker accountable for illegal search and punitive damages. However, the court rejected Nazario's request for a new trial.
