Innocent Man Detained

Denver, CO: (Apr-02-08) Brad Braxton brought a wrongful arrest lawsuit against the city of Denver, CO, alleging that he was arrested in December 2007, for a crime he didn't commit. Braxton's suit claimed that he was arrested and jailed for nine days without going before a judge, despite the fact that he repeatedly pleaded that he was innocent. Sources close to the case stated that the mix up could not be explained as the true suspect in the case was white and looked nothing like Braxton.

The suit was resolved as the two sides reached a settlement agreement, in which the city of Denver agreed to pay Braxton $30,000 to end his wrongful arrest lawsuit. Records state that the Denver City Council voted in his favor awarding him the settlement sum. [9 NEWS: MAN WRONGFULLY JAILED AWARDED $30K IN SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT]
