A federal judge upheld an $8.25 million verdict awarded to a Black mother and her daughters who were unlawfully detained outside a Castro Valley Starbucks while also denying a pair of Alameda County sheriff's deputies the right to a new trial.
A pair of Alameda County sheriff's deputies are fighting an $8.25 million verdict awarded to a mother and her daughters whom a federal jury found were the targets of an unconstitutional search outside a Castro Valley Starbucks.
Aasylei Loggervale and her two daughters were handcuffed in connection with car burglaries they had nothing to do with while at the coffee shop, their attorney says.
Alameda County offered a Black family who was handcuffed in the back of a sheriff's patrol car for more than an hour at a Castro Valley Starbucks $700,000 to settle a suit alleging their constitutional rights had been violated. In the end, they won more than $8 million.
