The Miami Hurricanes picked up a major addition for their defensive line on Tuesday evening.

Patty Day, then employed by the Public Works Department, wants over $9 million in damages for her injuries, which included a broken tooth, a deep cut that left a scar on her hand, persistent arm and shoulder pain, and psychological issues including anxiety, depression and flashbacks. “Chauvin is the most infamous police officer in Minnesota (if not United States) history,” according to the complaint filed in federal court.
