A federal court jury unanimously ruled that two Pennsylvania state police troopers used excessive force and intentionally shot 12-year-old Michael Ellerbe in Uniontown, Pennsylvania in December 2002. The jury awarded Ellerbe's family more than $28 million dollars in punitive and compensatory damages. FSRN's Andalusia Knoll has more from Pittsburgh.
