Record-breaking police brutality settlement announced by Ben Crump in Randy Cox case.

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, which comes two years after the $27 million settlement involving the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers on Memorial Day weekend in 2020. Five New Haven police officers were charged after Cox was left partially paralyzed while being transported in a police van.
