Indiana man with mental disabilities, framed by police for murder, gets $11.7 million settlement

• Royer, who lives in Goshen, told The Indianapolis Star that the settlement money will “change my life.”

“I am now financially set for the rest of my life. I hope to help my family as much as I can,” he said. *

Oof. Hope this guy has a good, decent family around him. Especially with mental disabilities, there's at risk of bad actors coming out of the woodwork.

Quite a disparity between this outcome and the guy who got $175k compensation for spending 50 years in prison wrongly convicted. I wonder if that guy will sue for millions too.

I really want to make a police tv procedural that get policing right. Basically, a crime happens and then the dumbest and cruelest person from your high school (the cop) frames a marginalized person while the media fellates the cop.
