Baltimore County releases terms of $1.5 million settlement in teen's death
Under the terms of a $1.5 million settlement with Baltimore County, the mother of a teenage boy who died after an altercation with an off-duty county police officer will get paid in installments over 18 years — and can't talk about it.
After an initial payment of $550,000, the county will pay Chris Brown, the mother of Christopher Brown, 17 annual payments of $55,882 beginning in 2017, according to legal documents released by the county.
The settlement also stipulates that, if approached by anyone about the terms, including the news media, Brown and her attorney will "simply state that: 'the matter has been fully resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.'"
The Randallstown 17-year-old died of asphyxiation after being chased by off-duty Officer James Laboard, who allegedly placed him in a chokehold after a group of kids threw rocks at his home's front door. Brown's death was ruled a homicide.
