WASHINGTON, — Baltimore in the U.S. state of Maryland had reached a settlement with the family of Freddie Gray, the young black man who died of a fatal spinal injury while in police custody, officials said Tuesday. With the settlement, Freddie Gray’s family will be compensated to the tune of 6.4 million U.S. dollars. The settlement still needs the approval of the city’s spending oversight board, which will convene Wednesday on the proposed settlement. “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 statement, adding that the settlement had nothing to do with the criminal proceedings.(Xinhua)…[+]
