Victoria de Toledo obtained a verdict of $860,000 in McInnis v. Town of Weston, CT Federal Court, Civ. No. 3:03CV01803, for a police officer who had protested age discrimination in the Town of Weston police department. The Chief of Police retaliated against Officer McInnis after he protested age discrimination in promotions by subjecting the officer to unwarranted internal affairs investigation and excessive discipline. A jury verdict was subsequently reduced by the court, but the court awarded fees and costs in addition to the damage award.
