An East Bay jury has awarded former Black Panther leader Elaine Brown $3.75 million in damages for injuries she suffered when Oakland Councilwoman Desley Brooks assaulted her during an argument at a downtown restaurant. In its verdict Thursday, after a day of deliberations, the Alameda County Superior Court jury agreed with Brown on every disputed issue in the case: that Brooks had attacked her without justification, that Brown had never threatened her, that Brooks was acting within the scope of her employment with the city, and that the assault on the then-72-year-old woman was an act of elder abuse. The award against the city of Oakland covers damages for pain and suffering.
