Description
After less than a day of deliberations, a federal jury ruled that Chula Vista police officers did not contribute to the death of Oral Nunis Sr. during a May 2020 altercation.
After more than three years of litigation, a federal jury found that officers used reasonable force on the 56-year-old Nunis who died a little more than twenty minutes after Nunis' daughter called a police call for help.
CBS 8 has followed the wrongful death case since 2020 and sat in federal court during the two-week-long trial.
At issue was whether or not police officers used excessive force on Nunis after his daughter phoned police for a mental health evaluation of her father just before midnight on March 12, 2020.
