Chicago panel OKs paying $32.7 million to settle 2 police misconduct cases

(MCT) — CHICAGO — Chicago’s City Council Finance Committee on Tuesday endorsed spending $32.7 million to settle two police misconduct cases, including what may be the single largest payment of its kind in city history.

The larger settlement, now set for a Thursday vote of the full council, is for $22.5 million to the family of Christina Eilman. She was left severely and permanently disabled nearly seven years ago after plummeting from a seventh-floor window of a vacant apartment at a public housing complex.
