Walter Scott's Family Wants Judge To $6.5M Approve Wrongful Death Settlement


The family of a man shot dead by a North Charleston police officer who is now charged with murder has filed legal papers asking a judge to approve a $6.5m wrongful death settlement. The settlement gives annuities totaling $1m to three of Walter Scott’s four children, according to court papers obtained by the Post and Courier of Charleston. Scott’s estate will get $3m, while three law firms who helped represent his family will divide about $2.4m. About $17,000 will pay Scott’s backdated child support. The money Scott owed is the reason his family said he ran away from a traffic stop on 4 April in North Charleston. Officer Michael Slager chased Scott, who was not armed, and the two wrestled on the ground before Scott stood back up and ran, authorities said. He was shot in the back moments later, investigators said. A video that was taken by a bystander and released caused a national uproar and prompted an immediate murder charge against Slager, who remains in jail awaiting trial. http://bit.ly/1T9Y8Pf http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
