Does Michael Brown’s grandmother get the net proceeds of the settlement since he was living with her the time of his death? I got the impression that Brown had effectively been abandoned by his mother and father, but now they get to cash in on his death?

” That means the terms of the agreement will not be made public. It’s not clear whether the individuals named in the lawsuit are parties to the settlement.

But Webber said the details will remain secret because “disclosure of the terms of the settlement agreement could jeopardize the safety of individuals involved in this matter, whether as witnesses, parties, or investigators. The public policy to consider records open is outweighed by the adverse impact to Plaintiffs.”
