but the attorney himself didn't have any evidence period. He just thought he'd waltz in there,claim racism and civil rights violations without having any evidence to present to the jury.

Obviously the jury didn't think there was enough evidence of monetary damages, but he may have still tried to present some. Additionally, there is really no debate that Franklin's civil rights were violated. The attorney for the officers admitted as much. The only issue seems to be a piss-poor presentation of damages or a piss-poor jury.
