The settlement between Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and 25-year-old Dontrell Stephens would cover the $22.4 million a federal jury awarded Stephens in 2016, plus interest.

A federal judge has upheld a $23 million jury verdict awarded to a black man who was unarmed when he was shot and left paralyzed by a Florida sheriff’s deputy.

A 24-year-old black man awarded $23 million in a lawsuit says he forgives the sheriff’s deputy who shot and paralyzed him but would like an apology.

The lead attorney for Dontrell Stephens knows it will be years before the 22-year-old black man receives any of the $23 million he won in a verdict against the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office because he was shot and paralyzed by a deputy while unarmed.

A federal jury awarded $23.1 million on Wednesday to a 22-year-old black man who was unarmed when he was shot and paralyzed by a sheriff’s deputy, but Florida lawmakers will have to approve any award above $200,000.

A sheriff’s deputy justifiably shot and paralyzed an unarmed black man because the man’s actions made the deputy believe he was drawing a gun and was about to shoot him, a police training expert told a federal court jury Tuesday.

A sheriff’s deputy told a federal jury Monday that he would still shoot an unarmed 22-year-old black man, given the man’s actions in the seconds before he fired.

A 22-year-old black man conceded Monday that his testimony has changed about where on his body he was shot by a sheriff’s deputy and left paralyzed.

A young black man left paralyzed when shot by a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy is expected to be cross-examined in the federal trial over his lawsuit.

A paralyzed young black man had his suit jacket and shirt removed in court to show a federal jury the bullet scars from being shot by a sheriff’s deputy.

A former police chief testified that a sheriff’s deputy had no legitimate reason to open fire when he shot and paralyzed an unarmed, young black man.

A sheriff’s deputy was dressed for war and used excessive force when he shot a young black man four times, including once in the back, during a confrontation in 2013, the now-paralyzed man’s attorney told a federal jury Tuesday.

A jury of six women and two men has been chosen in the lawsuit filed by a young black man against a Florida sheriff’s deputy who shot him and left him paralyzed.
