George Floyd's family is getting a $27 million settlement from the City of Minneapolis. Or more correctly, George Floyd's family is getting something around $20 million, and the attorneys are getting a nice chunk.
I'm a lawyer, but it just seems like an odd system that the when a family member gets tragically murdered the upshot is that the extended family of the victim and some random attorney advocate who holds some press conferences and puts together a compelling presentation hits the lottery. Not proposing any better alternatives or even disagreeing with the result.
