It has been 5 months since Freddie Gray died after being critically injured when in police custody, and on Sept. 9 his family received a settlement.
Gray’s family will get 6.4 million dollars in the wrongful death settlement from the city of Baltimore after Freddie’s death this April. The financial board of the city of Baltimore officially approved the amount Sept. 9 despite the police union president claiming it was an “obscene amount”.
This settlement doesn’t represent any judgment on whether the six police officers are guilty or not guilty of crimes varying from murder to assault. The officers’ trials will be held in October.
