Final Marvin Booker Settlement: $6 Million
DENVER (CBS4) - The final settlement in the wrongful death case of Marvin Booker is $6 million, the city of Denver said Thursday.
The amount includes the jury verdict of $4.65 million and $1.35 million for attorney's fees and costs.
A jury found the Denver Sheriff's Department culpable in Booker's death after a three-week trial. Booker, a street preacher, died in jail in 2010 after sheriff's deputies subdued him with tasers, nunchucks and sleeper holds.
