8-13-2008 Michigan:
HOWELL -- Livingston County's insurance company has agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a convicted child rapist who accused guards of allowing other inmates to beat him up.
WHMI and the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus report the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Agency has reached a $190,000 settlement with 30-year-old Shaun Leary. The Pinckney man says jail officers told inmates in 2000 he was charged with raping a 9-year-old girl.
Inmates later beat Leary severely. He was treated at the hospital for facial and skull fractures.
Sheriff Bob Bezotte says authorities believed they could have prevailed in court but made a business decision to settle. The Michigan Department of Corrections has placed a hold on the funds to pay for Leary's incarceration. ..News Source.. by Detroit News
