Jury backs Ariz. rancher accused of detaining Mexicans | Chronicle | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Would someone explain to me how illegal’s are able to sue someone who is protecting his own property? What a load of crap…Bill

TUCSON, Ariz. — A federal jury found Tuesday that a southern Arizona rancher didn't violate the civil rights of a group of illegal immigrants who said he detained them at gunpoint in 2004.

The eight-member civil jury also found Roger Barnett wasn't liable on claims of battery and false imprisonment.

But the jury did find him liable on four claims of assault and four claims of infliction of emotional distress and ordered Barnett to pay $77,804 in damages — $60,000 of which were punitive.
