A woman who sued the city of Jackson, Mississippi, over the death of her brother has rejected a settlement offer after officials publicly disclosed the amount of the payment. The family’s attorney alleges that the city violated a confidentiality agreement and continues to pursue the lawsuit. The settlement, which was approved by the Jackson City Council, is not an admission of liability by the city or the three officers named in the lawsuit. Despite the family’s decision to reject the settlement, the Mississippi Court of Appeals recently overturned a conviction related to the case, citing insufficient evidence of gross negligence.
