As written by Jim Walsh of the Cherry Hill Courier-Post
A lawsuit brought by a man who was shot by a police officer here could be resolved soon with a payment of $1.4 million.
City Council members are expected to vote at a special meeting Tuesday on a proposed settlement of the suit brought by Bryheim Jamar Baskin.
The pending agreement was reached after the state Supreme Court last year narrowly ruled a former city policeman, Rafael Martinez, could not claim qualified immunity against Baskin’s suit.
