$45M settlement reached in New Haven police brutality case involving Randy Cox.

A $45 million settlement has been reached in the civil police brutality case involving Richard "Randy" Cox, a Black man now paralyzed from the chest down following an arrest by police officers in New Haven, Connecticut, nearly a year ago. The case represents the largest settlement involving police misconduct in U.S. history. Five New Haven police officers were charged after Cox was left partially paralyzed while being transported in a police van. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, the lead attorney in both cases, said Floyd's case was previously the largest settlement involving police brutality.
