Santos v. City of Culver City
Plaintiff, Bonifasio Santos, appeals following a jury trial from a judgment in favor of defendant, the City of Culver City. Plaintiff claimed he had been assaulted with a flashlight or a baton. The jury found Officer John Purnell did not intentionally strike plaintiff. On appeal, plaintiff contends: the jury selection process violated the Trial Jury Selection and Management Act (Code Civ. Proc., § 190 et seq.); the trial court should have excluded all of the testimony of Dr. Kent Tadatoshi Shoji; and it was error to dismiss plaintiff's claim under the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act. (Civ. Code, § 52.1.)
