Afternoon Briefing: Cook County to pay $15 million in civil rights settlement
Good afternoon, Chicago. County commissioners approved roughly $48 million in legal settlements today, including $7.45 million each to two men who won a record jury verdict after wrongfully spending 16 years behind bars. John Fulton and Anthony Mitchell sued the Chicago Police Department and the county in 2020 alleging they were railroaded as teenagers and falsely confessed in 2003 to the murder and burning of Christopher Collazo. The two men won a record $60 million each in damages from a jury this March after successfully arguing they were the victims of a bogus murder investigation by police and Cook County prosecutors.
