• Jury Awards $1 for Calvert Shooting

Robert L. Commodore Jr. should not have been shot in the back as he fled from a January 2007 traffic stop in southern Calvert County - - but he only deserves a dollar in damages, a federal jury sitting in Greenbelt decided. After a two-day trial before Judge Deborah K. Chasanow, the jury determined Deputy Sheriff Joseph Windsor used excessive force, then awarded the 28-year-old plaintiff only nominal damages and no punitive damages.
