Overview: Former police officers were entitled to elect which statute they would receive compensatory damages under because the jury's verdict was based on both federal and state law claims. The Michigan statute had no damage caps, and therefore the cap of 42 U.S.C.S. § 1981a(b)(3)(D) did not apply.
