Camden Council to Vote on $1.4M Shooting Settlement
“The City Council is poised to approve a $1.4 million settlement with a man who got shot in the stomach in 2012 by a then-city police detective. The tentative agreement, on the council’s Tuesday agenda, would end costly litigation in a high-profile case that’s been winding its way through the state court,” reports Tony Gallotto in Tap Into Camden.
“Under the proposed settlement, the city would pay 29-year-old Bryheim Jamar Baskin $750,000 and the city’s insurance carrier would pay the $650,000 remainder. Council approval would not be an admission of liability by the city, the agreement says. A resolution on the council’s agenda says this settlement would avoid the continued.”
