The CT Law Tribune reports as follows, "In a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the Town of Plainville and two of its police officers, a Connecticut jury has awarded $10 million to the family of a woman killed by her ex-boyfriend on Valentine's Day 2009.
The family alleged that even though there was a restraining order barring the ex-boyfriend from coming near the woman, he continued to harass the woman and police did nothing to enforce the order.
Tiana Notice was 25 years old in 2009 when she was stabbed to death outside her apartment. The family's lawyers said she was stabbed 20 times by James Carter II of Bloomfield. Carter is serving a 60-year prison sentence.
