SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 1 – During the Occupy
Wall Street protests on March
21, 2012, Mary M. Tardif was
supporting protested in Union
Square when an officer threw
her on the ground, she said,
banging her head on the
pavement.
More than
ten years later on June 22,
2022 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Kimba M. Wood began
the trial. Inner City Press
went and covered it.
Tardif's lawyer, speaking from
COVID protocol glassed-in box,
told the jury about the
assault, then previewed some
of his client's brain injury
and evidence.
There was been
pre-trial motion practice
about which expert testimony
can some in.
Coming in
is evidence about white matter
hyperintensity. Plaintiff's
counsel on June 22 described
for the jury white matter
surrounded by gray matter.
Jump cut to
Friday, July 1: in a
near-empty courthouse the jury
was deliberating. And they
returned a verdict for Tardif,
for $431,250, just before the
Independence Day holiday.
Occupy Wall Street.
The case is
Tardif v. City of New York, et
al., 12-cv-4056 (Wood)
