Article Excerpt:

From [HERE] and [HERE] The city of St. Paul has reached an agreement to pay resident Deshun Carter $86,500 to settle a federal police brutality lawsuit.

The agreement is expected to be confirmed by the city council at its Wednesday, May 9 meeting.

Carter won a $35,000 punitive damages award from a federal jury last month. With attorney's fees, the final output by the city could have been higher without the settlement, which also stops any further legal action from either side. The agreement is "not to be construed as an admission of liability," the city asserted.

Carter, 31, alleged that St. Paul police attacked him while he was barbecuing in his back yard on Sept. 26, 2009. A federal jury ruled on April 16 that Officer Adam Bailey used excessive force on Carter.
