A federal judge upheld an $8.25 million verdict awarded to a Black mother and her daughters who were unlawfully detained outside a Castro Valley Starbucks while also denying a pair of Alameda County sheriff's deputies the right to a new trial.

when jurors found that two Alameda County sheriff's deputies wrongfully demanded identification from the Loggervale family in the parking lot of a Starbucks in September 2019, as they said they were investigating a string of car burglaries. The suspects in those cases were men. The Loggervales are women.

Specifically, the jury found that Alameda County sheriff's deputy Steven Holland liable for $2.7 million to mother Aasylei Loggervale and $2 million apiece to her daughters, Aaottae Loggervale, then 17, and Aasyeli Hardege-Loggervale, then 19. During the trial, the "defense never made any apology or show of regret," the judge wrote. "Instead, the defense, before the jury, impugned the credibility and integrity of the plaintiffs." For example, the judge highlighted an instance where Gilbert called one of the daughters a liar because she said she needed to use the bathroom at Starbucks.
