A 69-year-old Jan. 6 aggressor was ordered to pay $500,000 to the family of a Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police officer who died by suicide nine days after defending the U.S. Capitol from MAGA loyalists attempting to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election. A federal jury ruled Monday that chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman owes $380,000 in punitive damages and $60,000 in compensatory damages to the wife of fallen cop Jeffrey Smith. The defendant, who said he was "stunned" by the verdict, was also ordered to pay $60,000 to the 35-year-old officer's estate for pain and suffering. Walls-Kaufman spent 60 days in prison after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor related to the siege on the Capitol in January 2023, but claimed he never struck Smith. Jurors last week found that Smith's bodycam footage supports claims by his widow, Erin Smith, that the defendant assaulted the victim.
