A Fresno County Superior Court jury decided in favour of an investigator who alleged gender discrimination by the county district attorney, Elizabeth Egan and her predecessor, Ed Hunt. The jury decided that while the attorneys were not guilty of denying the plaintiff a promotion because of her gender they were guilty of discriminating against her in retaliation to the complaint she filed with the state department of fair employment and housing in 2002.
The jury decided that Judy Tucker had to be paid $300,000 in damages for future lost wages and $50,000 for the mental anguish she suffered after filing her complaint.
Tucker alleged that she was denied a promotion in favour of male candidates who were less qualified and less educated.
David Petrie, Tucker's lawyer stated in his arguments that Egan had launched an internal investigation into Tucker's personal life and that she had also failed to give his client an evaluation for nearly five years.
