The city of St. Anthony, Minn., will avoid a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Philando Castile’s family in the wake of his 2016 shooting death by paying out nearly $3 million to his family.

According to the Associated Press, Castile’s mother is set to receive the $2.995 million as settlement in Castile’s death at the hands of a St. Anthony police officer, Valerie Castile’s attorneys and the city of St. Anthony announced Monday.


quote:

Robert Bennett, one of Valerie Castile’s attorneys, said the settlement was reached in order to move expeditiously rather than to have the case drawn out (once again) in federal court in a process that would “exacerbate and reopen terrible wounds.”

Expected this. Even though money should be taken out for the violence she promoted.

Every penny, along with whatever equities are bought with it, will all be gone in 5 years.

So?

He's dead. People who believe money is "justice" for a "loved ones" death are sick.

Whew lawds gone be some bans in this one.

I'm not convinced this one wasn't murder...3 mil is a small price to pay for a capital crime at the hands of an employee.

Why are cops so trigger happy!?

Pew pew pew pew pew

The dumbass shouldn't have gone for his weapon as the cop repeadedly tells him to stop. He's worth more financially to them dead than alive.

Sad thing is they'd happily keep that money instead of Philando still being alive.

Is the going rate for this type of case about 33 % for attorney fees?

No they're not. Payment for damages to an injured or aggrieved party is the most effective way to curb tortious conduct. It's essentially punishment for wrongdoing.

Completely ridiculous settlement amount. Insurance companies need to start suing govt entities.
