Baltimore Officials Reach $6.4M Wrongful Death Settlement With Freddie Gray Family

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. Yes, the same Stephanie Rawlings-Blake that said this during the violence that overtook the city following the death of Freddie Gray and the ensuing charges against six Baltimore police officers:

The family of Freddie Gray, who died after being critically injured in police custody, reached a tentative $6.4 million wrongful death settlement with the city of Baltimore, resolving civil claims about a week after the first hearing in the criminal case against six police officers, officials said Tuesday…

The settlement still needs the approval of a board that oversees city spending. That board meets Wednesday.

“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.”

The settlement does not resolve any factual disputes, and expressly does not constitute an admission of liability on the part of the city, its police department or any of the officers. The settlement has nothing whatsoever to do with the criminal proceedings, the press release said.
