Sister of Mississippi man who died after police pulled him from car rejects lawsuit settlement
SUMMARY: A woman rejected a settlement from Jackson, Mississippi after officials disclosed the amount they would pay her for her brother's death at the hands of three police officers.

Additionally, the woman's son was killed by an off-duty police officer, leading to a separate investigation.
