Description

Brandy Andrews (Andrews) brought this 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983 action against a broad array of defendants for damages arising from the death of her father, Bobby Andrews, while he was an involuntary patient at Fulton State Hospital in Fulton, Missouri. Her case proceeded to trial and judgment in her favor only against the defendants who are here the appellants. The claim tried was that these defendants--all security aides at the hospital--used constitutionally excessive force during the takedown and restraint that resulted in Bobby Andrewss death. The jury found these defendants liable and awarded damages to Andrews.
