CHARLOTTE – The Charlotte Housing Authority is expected to release a statement Wednesday about Tuesday's verdict in the death of Eva Green.

A Mecklenburg County jury found the CHA was negligent in the 63-year-old woman's death.

The plaintiffs argued the housing authority never did a thorough criminal or background check into Kenneth Cyrus, who pleaded guilty to second degree murder in Green's death at the Charlottetown Terrace Apartments.

The jury awarded the plaintiffs $132,000 in damages.
