Settlement reached in lawsuit over Michael Brown's death
june 20 2017 ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday approved a settlement in the wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the parents of Michael Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, whose fatal shooting by a white police officer nearly three years ago in Ferguson, Missouri, set off months of protests.
Webber's three-page ruling discloses nothing about the settlement amount, but said it is "fair and reasonable compensation for this wrongful death claim and is in the best interests of each Plaintiff," with the money to be split between Michael Brown Sr. and McSpadden.
Webber also wrote that the agreement "shall remain sealed by this Court and shall be considered a closed record" because disclosure of the information "could jeopardize the safety of individuals involved in this matter, whether as witnesses, parties, or investigators." He did not elaborate.
Settlements involving public money and public entities such as cities are typically open under Missouri law, but Webber wrote that the value of opening the record "is outweighed by the adverse impact to Plaintiffs."
People??Sorry ass people
It's insane that these gold-digging "parents" collect anything simply because their son got killed while attacking a cop.!!! And now the judge seals the record even though the law says he can't.

The law does not say that he can't. Is this conservative propaganda you're selling?

I've read several articles on this issue and they say the judge is lying. He has to release the number.
