A Massachusetts woman has been awarded $15,500 by a jury that found a state police officer was negligent when his motorcycle struck her as she watched the 2007 Boston Marathon.
Sixty-five-year-old Norma Shulman of Framingham was knocked to the ground and bruised when she was hit on state Route 135 in West Natick by now-retired Sgt. Dennis Bertulli, who was following the women’s race leaders. Lawyers for police said Shulman in the street. She says she was behind the white line at the side.
Shulman alleged police refused to accept responsibility and tried to cover up the incident.
The MetroWest Daily News reported that a jury awarded her the damages but rejected her claims of civil rights violations against a police investigator and battery against Bertulli .
