HOUSTON — A jury has awarded $3 million to the mother of a mentally ill man who died after he was shocked 18 times with a stun gun and hogtied during an arrest.

Shirley Nagel sued four Houston deputies after they detained her son, Joel Don Casey, in 2005. Casey’s death was later ruled a homicide. Jurors on Monday found three of the four deputies used unreasonable and excessive force.
