Put the judge and police in jail for 36 years.
Let's not forget the prosecutors!
You know, no amount of money can buy back the best years of your life.
It won’t, but they can now live the rest of their lives to the absolute fullest - and they deserve to on the taxpayers dime.
Move out of America quick, before a police stop that they haven't quite decided the reason for.
Might as well be a death sentence now that they're out where the cops can find them.
So how long until they're murdered by police?
So the tax payers have to pay for this miscarriage of justice and no police or prosecutors are held accountable? Why are they not facing a life sentence?
Why the police and prosecution and not the jury? It's their duty to determine guilt, isn't it?
No, cities have insurance for this kind of thing. The premiums might go up, but the tax payer isn't footing the whole bill.
The fact that the burden on tax payers is lower, does not change the fact that there is zero accountability here.
I didn't argue otherwise. I was just dispelling the notion that the $48m comes out of the city budget. Which, may be part of the problem.
So that's about $37,037 per month and person
I think you’re getting downvoted because in the USA, we’d write it as $37,037. What you wrote translates to $37
