AAS 4/16/08 Jury sides with trooper accusing DPS of retaliation and discrimination Judge has yet to finalize judgment and award of more than $600,000. A Travis County jury has awarded more than $600,000 to a state trooper who filed a lawsuit charging the Department of Public Safety with retaliation and discrimination after he was transferred out of the elite protective detail that watches over Gov. Rick Perry and his family. (snip) Sgt. Thomas Williams accused the agency of retaliating against him after he filed complaints alleging sexual harassment of a Capitol trooper and racial and sex discrimination within the agency. On March 6, a 12-person jury unanimously sided with him, agreeing that the agency transferred Williams from the detail because he had filed a discrimination complaint and that his race was a factor; he is African American. A unanimous decision - there must have been some pretty strong evidence.  Good for the trooper and bad on DPS and Perry! Sonia |
