The State Attorney's Office deemed the actions of the officer who killed Jamee Johnson"justified." The city has now settled a lawsuit by his family for $200,000.11:24 PM EST November 8, 2023
Though a team of experts led by State Attorney Melissa Nelson found Garriga's actions were"justified," Johnson's family sought to challenge Garriga's account of what happened that night. The family's attorney said the bodycam video of the shooting did not show Johnson reaching for a weapon, as Garriga said he had. The lawsuit also contested that the bullet trajectory described in Johnson's autopsy contradicted Garriga's story.
The settlement does not admit any wrongdoing by Garriga. Documents show the city decided to settle because of the"uncertainty" of a trial.The settlement comes after Garriga ended up under public scrutiny once again. biased messages
