I said it at the time. Eric Garner was murdered. Maybe not by man’s law, but by God’s law he was murdered.

Now, Eric Garner’s family has settled for a payment of $5.9M. If it wasn’t murder, and there was no chance a jury would find in favor of the family, I could see them settling for $100,000 or $200,000, or maybe even $500,000, just to avoid all the lawyer’s fees. But almost $6M is a lot to pay for people who aren’t guilty of murder.
