Woman shot by police withdrew her case for 1 million 100 thousand dollars

It was reported that Stephanie Washington, who was shot unarmed by a police officer named Devin Eaton in New Haven, United States, reached an agreement with the police officer and lawyers from the Hamden District Police Department for $1.1 million in compensation. .

In the settlement, despite compensation to be paid to Washington, Police Officer Eaton and the police officers did not accept any legal responsibility for the incident, while Hamden Mayor Lauren Garrett expressed her satisfaction with the settlement.

On April 16, 2019, Eaton pulled over the vehicle he thought was used in a robbery and opened fire 13 times as the vehicle’s owner, Washington’s boyfriend Paul Witherspoon, got out of the vehicle.

Four of the bullets hit Washington, who was in the vehicle, causing serious injuries, while Witherspoon was unharmed.

In an investigation by the state’s attorney’s office into the incident, it was claimed that Eaton’s shooting was not justified. (AA)
