Civil Lawsuit Settled
This weekend, the city of Cleveland chose to settle with the Rice family rather than go to civil trial for wrongful death. The city will pay the Rice family $6,000,000.
Tamir's family and their attorney pushed hard for a special prosecutor and criminal trials of the two officers involved in the boy's shooting death two years ago. Earlier this year, the Grand Jury declined to indict either officer and both remain on restrictive duty pending the completion of an internal investigation.
