OCALA, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has upheld a jury’s $2.26 million wrongful death award against the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in a case where two deputies shot and repeatedly shocked a suspect.

The Ocala Star-Banner reports (http://bit.ly/1lCRgqO ) that U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges upheld the jury’s verdict finding that the deputy who used a stun gun on the mortally wounded Joshua Salvato used excessive and objectively unreasonable force.
