Two months after a jury gave gun control advocates a major victory, a South Florida judge took it away Monday, tossing out a $1.2 million award to the widow of a slain schoolteacher. In an unusual split verdict, the jury found in November that the handgun used by 12-year-old Nathaniel Brazill to kill Barry Grunow was not a defective product, but that the Sunrise-based gun distributor still had to pay Pam Grunow to compensate her for the loss of her husband. Palm Beach Circuit Judge Jorge Labarga, who presided over the trial, ruled Monday that the distributor could not be penalized if the gun was properly made.
