City agrees to lawsuit settlement with George Robinson’s family
SUMMARY: A city council member, Kenneth Stokes, questions the settlement amount of $17,000 in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of George Robinson, who died five years ago after an incident with Jackson police officers. Stokes believes the family deserves more and expresses disappointment in the settlement. The lawsuit was filed against the city, AMR Ambulance, and former JPD officers, with one officer, Anthony Fox, convicted of manslaughter but later released. An attorney not involved in the case suggests that the settlement amount may have been limited by the lack of criminal liability. Despite questioning the settlement, Stokes acknowledges that the case may not have had a stronger outcome in court.
