In May 2024, a judge ordered the enforcement of a settlement in which the City of Jackson, Mississippi, agreed to pay $17,786 to the family of George Robinson. Robinson died at the age of sixty-two in January 2019 after police officers pulled him from a car and allegedly beat him during a search for a murder suspect. Robinson, who had recently suffered a stroke, died two days later from brain bleeding. Robinson’s family sued the City in October 2019, and the Jackson City Council approved the settlement in April 2024. Robinson’s sister then sought to continue legal action, claiming the City violated a confidentiality agreement. However, on May 31, 2024, Circuit Judge Faye Peterson ruled that the sister’s arguments did not have merit and that the settlement was legally binding. Two officers were charged with second-degree murder in Robinson’s death, but those charges were later dropped. A third officer was convicted of culpable negligence manslaughter in 2022 before the Mississippi Court of Appeals overturned his conviction in 2024. |
