Description
The plaintiff, Val Lorrie Glover, the administrator of the estate of Gertrude Wilson, filed a four-count amended complaint against the city of Chicago and police officers Daniel Fitzgerald and Thomas Ferry. The complaint sought to recover damages for loss of support, pain and suffering, lost wages and burial expenses that resulted from the shooting death of Gertrude Wilson. Counts I and II based recovery on the absolute liability provisions of section 1-4-5 of the Illinois Municipal Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 24, par. 1-4-5). Recovery under count III was based on alleged negligence and indemnification liability pursuant to section 1-4-5 of the Illinois Municipal Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 24, par. 1-4-5), and recovery under count IV was based on alleged wilful and wanton conduct. At the close of the plaintiff's case, the defendants asked for directed verdicts on all counts. The trial court directed verdicts for the city and Ferry on all counts and directed verdicts for Fitzgerald on counts I, II and IV. A verdict was directed in favor of the plaintiff against Fitzgerald on count III, and the jury awarded damages in the amount of $20,000 on that count. The plaintiff filed a post-trial motion seeking judgment against all the defendants and a new trial on the damages issue or a new trial on all the issues against all the defendants. The trial court ordered a new trial against all the defendants on all of the issues. Leave to appeal was granted by this court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 306 (73 Ill.2d R. 306).
