A jury awarded nearly $80 million to the family of a 10-year-old Chicago girl who was killed during a police chase and crash in 2020.
The city had acknowledged liability in the death of Da’Karia Spicer. The only issue for the Cook County jury was the financial award.
Attorneys representing the city of Chicago said the amount should be between $12 million and $15 million, but the jury settled on $79.8 million after hearing closing arguments Wednesday.
