King County Judge Upholds $30.5M Award in Antonio Mays Jr. Case, City to Appeal
A King County judge has rejected Seattles post-trial motions in the Antonio Mays Jr. case, maintaining the $30.5 million award for the family of the 16-year-old shot during the 2020 Capitol Hill protests. The city, which sought a new trial, was denied and is now preparing to appeal. The case revolves around the citys delayed emergency response after Mays was shot near the East Precinct in the CHOP zone, leaving him without immediate medical attention. The city argued that Mays had a 90% chance of dying from his injuries and that blame should be shared with the unidentified shooter. However, Mays attorneys countered that the city was avoiding responsibility, particularly since emergency crews delayed entering the protest area. The citys appeal keeps the legal battle over those tumultuous protest nights alive, highlighting the significant consequences of delayed action.
