Feuerstein prevailed in his civil lawsuit. A jury awarded him $1.3 million damages for violations of state employment and civil rights laws.

The city is seeking a new trial or reduction in the award, said City Administrator Christina Volek. Feuerstein's mother, Diana Feuerstein, said Friday that the department had continued to ignore the mistreatment of some officers, as detailed during her son's trial. She said the state investigation was a "whitewash." Volek said she could not comment on those claims because the civil suit is not yet resolved.
