A Long Island jury on Monday found Suffolk County liable for a pattern and practice of civil rights abuses by the Suffolk County Police Department.
The panel awarded plaintiff Matthew McDevitt $750,000 for his malicious prosecution claims in addition to finding that the department “maintained a custom, pattern, practice, or policy that caused the constitutional deprivation” of McDevitt’s rights. It also found the county failed to supervise and train its officers.
