Jury awards $15.5 million to Kevin Fox and his wife

The Chicago Tribune reports:

A federal jury today awarded $15.5 million to Kevin Fox and his wife after concluding that Will County sheriff's detectives violated his civil rights by fabricating evidence in the 2004 slaying of his 3-year-old daughter, Riley.

Jurors determined Sgt. Edward Hayes, three deputies assigned as detectives to the case, the estate of a fifth and the county were liable for trying to railroad Fox.

Even though the jury found for the Foxes, they rejected the most serious allegation, that the detectives had conspired.

Sickening.
