A jury awarded more that $49 million in a lawsuit that killed one man and left another paralyzed.
Last week, a Ventura County jury award Anthony Pedeferri, a California Patrol Officer, and his wife $39 million for paralyzing injuries Pedeferri sustained after a drunk driving crash. Pedeferri had pulled over Andres Parra when a drunk-driver slammed into them, killing Parra and leaving Pedeferri a quadriplegic.
The jury awarded Parra's parents $10.2 million for the loss of their son.
The drunk-driver plead guilty to driving while intoxicated and transportation of marijuana. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison backing 2008.
