Supreme Court of Virginia.
Katina GREEN, Administrator of the Estate of
Christie D. Green
v.
George INGRAM, et al.
Record No. 040480.

March 3, 2005.

In this wrongful death action, personal injury trial attorneys Charles H. Cuthbert Jr. and Margaret Cuthbert Broaddus of Cuthbert Law Offices in Petersburg, Va. won a critical appeal to the Supreme Court of Virginia. They argued the trial court should have allowed them re-try their case after the first jury hung when presented with the question of whether Sgt. George Ingram of the Richmond Police Department SWAT Team had acted with gross negligence in the 1998 death of an 18-year-old mother. Sgt. Ingram fired five breaching rounds into the wooden kitchen door of an occupied apartment. Fragments from one round hit the mother in the chest and killed her. In an opinion handed down on March 3, 2005, the Supreme Court of Virginia agreed with Cuthbert and Broaddus and remanded the case for trial. Cuthbert and Broaddus ultimately obtained a $1.5 million verdict.
