Eric Garner's widow, Esaw Garner, turned down a $5 million settlement officer from New York City, according to MSN News. A "source" allegedly familiar with the Eric Garner lawsuit negotiations between the Staten Island family and NYC Controller Scott Stringer said the massive settlement was met with a negative response late last week.
Jonathan Moore, the attorney for the Eric Garner family, "urged" Esaw Garner to take the $5 million settlement offer, according to the same source. Moore allegedly also stated that Eric Garner's widow could then seek additional money by filing a separate lawsuit against the Richmond University Medical Center EMTs who attended to her husband after his NYPD arrest.
