286:153 Illinois Supreme Court orders new trial in case where jury reduced award to man shot by officers based on comparison of plaintiff's own negligence to officers' "willful and wanton" misconduct; whether such reduction would be proper would depend, court finds, on whether officers' misconduct was "intentional" as opposed to merely "reckless" Poole v. City of Rolling Meadows, 167 Ill 2d 41, 656 N.E.2d 768 (1995).
