As I posted above, the city is within it's legal right to settle the suit. As the civil and criminal cases are connected - the prosecution alleges the wrongful death was caused by the police - I believe it was prejudicial and damaging to do so and severely hinders the chance of a fair and impartial trial.

I believe that the most accurate statement is that the city had significantly more information in its possession than either of us do. Is it possible that it sold out the defendants to limit its own exposure? I wouldn't doubt it.
