In a police officer’s gender and employment discrimination and retaliation suit against the City of Chicago and her supervisor, jury verdict for defendants is affirmed as plaintiff’s claims are without merit and city and supervisor presented sufficient evidence to provide the jury a reasonable basis to find in their favor, and the verdict was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
