A widowed Hall County woman has been awarded more than $2 million by a federal jury in a wrongful death suit. Jurors on Thursday deemed $2.3 million in damages and expenses to Abigail Marilyn Ayers, wife of Jonathan Ayers, a Northeast Georgia pastor who was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy in September 2009. The trial began last week at the Federal Court in Gainesville.
