Verdict against a pardoned Capitol rioter is only a partial victory
for a police officer's widow

Coming to court this week, a police officer's widow wanted to prove
that a man assaulted her husband during a mob's attack on the U.S.
Capitol and ultimately was responsible for the officer's suicide nine
days later. A jury's verdict Friday amounted to only a partial victory
for Erin Smith in a lawsuit over her husband's death.

The eight-member jury held a 69-year-old chiropractor, David
Walls-Kaufman, liable for assaulting Metropolitan Police Officer
Jeffrey Smith inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They will hear more
trial testimony before deciding whether to award Erin Smith any
monetary damages over her husband's assault.
