Florida jury awards $0.04 to family of black man fatally shot by police

Jurors who awarded only 4 cents to the family of a black man fatally shot in his home by a deputy expressed confusion about the court's instructions as they struggled to reach a verdict.

Notes sent to the judge show the jurors said they couldn't reach a unanimous decision before finally finding 30-year-old Gregory Hill Jr. 99 per cent responsible for his death, because he was drunk when a St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputy shot him.

another situation where body cams should have helped clarify. I can see the guy not knowing it was the popo opening it with a gun in his hand saying oh shit then closing it up.  Once the cops saw the gun it was game on.   Having had the local police chief die from a randomly shot bullet sprayed out of a house the cops at least in this case had some legitimate reason to fear for their safety.  Now with no gun in hand then no matter how drunk the cops should be out of a job and the fam should win some cash.
