Deliberations Reach Second Day in Discrimination Suit Involving Missing Arm
Jurors may decide as early as today whether Army Ranger Justin Slaby, who had his arm blown off, was unfairly denied a job with the FBI because of his prosthetic arm, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Deliberations of the eight-person jury began Tuesday.
Slaby, 30, says he was fired after the FBI discovered he had a prosthetic arm.
In the trial, the FBI’s attorneys contended Slaby’s prosthetic arm was a hindrance.
Slaby said he performed well on the tests and was unfairly discriminated against.
