Officers used excessive force in fatally shooting a mentally distressed teenager, leading to $3.5 million in damages for the victim's mother.
Sullivan, unarmed during the incident, was shot multiple times by officers who were found liable for the shooting.
Defendants argued Sullivan was a threat due to his size and manner, citing a suicide note found in his wallet as justification for the shooting.
Attorney Dordick stated officers should have taken responsibility for the shooting and learned from the incident, acknowledging it as a 'bad shooting.'
