3720 REVIEW DENIED An award of $2 million was excessive in an action by parents against police for conduct during an arrest that wrongfully caused the death of their adult son whom they had not seen in 20 years, and who was addicted to cocaine, sufficiently deranged to have stood in the middle of a street shooting a gun into the air and at passing motorists, frequently had been confined to prison, and would probably have been convicted of various crimes and sentenced to 21 years in prison had he survived the arrest.CitationNELSON v COUNTY OF LA (Hogtied Prisoner) 113 CA4 783 [See: CCP 377.60, 1021.5; Nelson v Superior Court 89 CA4 565, P/AT 7/01; Williams v Wraxall 33 CA4 120, T/AT 4/95; Overly v Ingalls 74 CA4 164, T/AT 9/99]
