A trio of Georgia attorneys has secured a record-breaking $4.8 million settlement with the state of Georgia for the family of Julian E. Lewis, an unarmed Black motorist shot and killed by a Georgia State Patrol trooper in August 2020.
The pre-litigation settlement comes just over a year and a half after ex-trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson shot Lewis in the head during an attempted traffic stop for an allegedly broken taillight along a rural highway in Sylvania.
