White taxpayers will pay for this of course. Why is the city caving in when all the evidence says "gentle giant" michael brown was at fault?. Because - The city knows any jury will be black and say "Screw the evidence. Make whitey pay".
Settlement near in civil suit over death of Michael Brown
june 20 2017 FERGUSON • The family of Michael Brown, the city of Ferguson, former Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson and former police Officer Darren Wilson are nearing settlement of a lawsuit over Brown’s 2014 fatal shooting by Wilson, the Post-Dispatch has learned.
The settlement has not yet been finalized or approved by a judge.
A person familiar with the settlement negotiations said that a settlement was close, however, and that it would be for less than $3 million.
It’s not clear how much less, but $3 million is the limit of the city’s insurance.
Any settlement, once finalized, would have to be made public under Missouri’s open records law.
On Friday, lawyers for the city’s insurance company filed their own motion supporting the Brown family motion to seal documents. In a memo, the city’s lawyers also asked that any “proceedings” connected with the family’s motion be sealed, “including any hearings or conferences.”
Anthony Gray, a lawyer for the family, said Friday that the case was still in limbo, but that the parties would “hopefully resolve it.”
Asked why lawyers would try to close the courtroom to the public, Gray said, “There’s more to it than that, but I just can’t comment.”
