Former Playboy Playmate Stephanie Adams was awarded $1.2 million for rough treatment she received during a 2006 scuffle with police, which she says she led to permanent neck and back injuries. In her lawsuit against the city, Adams says officers threw her to the ground at gunpoint after a taxi driver falsely claimed she was armed and dangerous.
According to the New York Post, the $1.2 million award from the jury was $350,000 more than Adams' attorney had requested. One juror told the Post that Adams' injuries sealed the verdict: "No one should be treated that way," the juror said.
According to the New York Daily News, NYPD Sgt. John Rajan told the jury the officers "didn't know if she had a firearm," but later admitted that she "was wearing tight-fitting clothing, and there was no place to conceal a weapon." The Daily News reports that the city Law Department is considering whether to ask the judge to reduce the award or overturn the jury's verdict.
