A Staten Island judge approved nearly $4 million in payments to the family of Eric Garner from a $5.9 million wrongful death settlement with the city, according to lawyers involved in the case. The judge is still weighing how much to award in attorneys fees, according to attorney Lorraine Coyle who represents Garner’s 3-year-old daughter, Legacy Jayleen Garner-Miller. Garner’s youngest child and his widow, Esaw Snipes, will received the largest shares, according to family attorney Jonathan Moore. Snipes will receive around $1.4 million while Garner-Miller will get close to $1.3 million, according to Moore. “I’m very happy that Legacy is going to be getting an increase in funds from what was originally proposed,” Coyle said, adding that the original amount was under $1 million. Garner’s other daughters– Erica and Emerald Snipes– will each be paid $163,600. Their older brother Eric will get $204,00 and their younger brother Emery, who is a minor, will receive $482,000. Finally Garner’s mom Gwen Carr, who is overseeing her late son’s estate, will get $82,0000. The money will be paid out over the next 90 days in the form of annuities or annual installments, Coyle told The Post.

Nonsense! If it weren’t for him being morbidly obese, with asthma, heart condition, and having been in a fight previous to his resisting arrest, he would probably be alive today.

Again, watch the videos and see how the whole thing went down.

I didn’t know much about it, and had no formed opinions. I found the first video, which doesn’t the ambulance arriving. I then found the second, which does.

The man resists, and it takes several officers just to get him under control. He says I can’t breath, and the officer lets go. It takes 10 seconds for the officer to get off the guy’s back, as there are many officers around him.

The put on the ground, on his face. He complains, and an ambulance is there within 3 minutes.

The finding by the coroner was political.

And that was most definitely a choke hold - I watched the video. I’ve administered many choke holds and taught the same to many Ju-Jitsu students. It looked just like every other choke hold I’ve ever seen.

I gather you’re an expert at choke-holds. So I also gather you also know more than medical experts?

Experts who found no bruising or any damage to Garner’s throat or windpipe.

Experts agree that a chokehold which can kill a person will be evident by bruising, crushing, and damaging the areas around the throat or neck. As you know, Garner had no damages found there.

But Ahhh! You watched a video! So in your expert analysis - you are right and experts (like the coroner) are wrong.

I see. Carry on.
