SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the U.S. government to pay $17.8 million to Korean Don Yoon who lost four members of his family when a Marine Corps fighter jet crashed into their San Diego home in 2008.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller’s ruling came after a nonjury trial between the Department of Justice and the family, who sought $56 million for emotional and monetary loss. The Marine Corps blamed the crash on mechanical failure and human error.
