SUMMARY: Robinson's family expressed outrage and plans to reject a settlement deal with the city after accusing city leaders of breaking the agreement. Last month, Robinson's sister, Christine Wade, decided to reject the $17,000 wrongful death settlement after it was made public, despite it being confidential. A judge acknowledged that while a confidentiality agreement was signed, the city cannot legally keep settlements confidential, dismissing claims of fraudulent misrepresentation. Wade's attorney, Dennis Sweet, criticized the ruling, emphasizing the importance of confidentiality in mediation. Robinson died in 2019 during a police encounter, and his family settled with an ambulance service for an undisclosed amount. Sweet is considering an appeal.
