The family of Freddie Gray has reached a tentative deal with the city of Baltimore in their wrongful death complaint against the city to the tune of $6.4 million dollars. And who released this nugget to the public? Why none other than the illustrious Baltimore mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

“The proposed settlement agreement going before the board of estimates should not be interpreted as a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the officers facing trial,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a news release. “This settlement is being proposed solely because it is in the best interest of the city, and avoids costly and protracted litigation that would only make it more difficult for our city to heal and potentially cost taxpayers many millions more in damages.”
