A New Jersey county has agreed to pay $10 million to a man who was left paralyzed after an encounter with police eight years ago
A settlement was reached last week before a new trial was to start. The settlement must still be approved by a federal judge.
“Mr. Ingram requires better medical care and quality of life that he no longer wishes to delay, and it’s in his best interests to bring this litigation to a close,” Baldinger, said Monday. “The bottom line is Mr. Ingram had his day in court, he looked the jury in the eye and told his truth, and that cannot be overstated.
According to Baldinger, Ingram ran from the officers because he had an outstanding motor vehicle summons and didn't want to be arrested. Police contend Ingram's injuries were caused when he slipped and fell on the ground and that he ran because he was in possession of drugs and a stolen gun. Ingram has denied having a gun.
In an email regarding the settlement Monday, Camden County spokesperson Dan Keashen wrote,"Based on the settlement, the county maintains, and continues to maintain, that no wrongdoing took place and is not liable for any of the actions and circumstances of the aforementioned incident.”
