Jason Paul, wrongly accused by the police of assaulting Christopher Alder before Mr Alder was unlawfully killed in police custody, has today won his civil claim against the police at the second attempt.
The two week trial in front of a jury in Sheffield followed a ruling in March 2004 by the Court of Appeal that the judge at the first trial was wrong to withdraw the case from the jury and throw out the claim.
Mr Paul was awarded damages plus legal costs.
