(Baltimore, MD) -- The Maryland Supreme Court hears the case of a five-year-old shot during police standoff.

Kodi Gaines, now 11, continues his legal battle seven years after being injured during a deadly standoff involving Baltimore County police that killed his mother, Korryn Gaines.

Despite winning a $32 million verdict in 2018, the county still disputes it, citing qualified immunity.

Kodi's ongoing struggles, including physical injuries and emotional trauma, are at the forefront of the case, with arguments focusing on whether an officer's accidental shooting in the line of duty violates due process.
