A $388,026 judgment won by a state court officer for mental anguish she said she suffered by being escorted out of a state courthouse and to her home to surrender her three permitted handguns was upheld by an appeals court Thursday.
The Appellate Division, Third Department, panel ruled that Officer Colleen Casey effectively proved her claim of false imprisonment by the public way she was made to hand over her personal weapons in 2009 under a directive by court administrators while she was assigned to Troy City Court.
