Attorneys representing City Hall have abruptly backed out of a $150,000 settlement agreement with the family of a teen allegedly kidnapped by Baltimore police.
Baltimore attorney A. Dwight Pettit is accusing lawyers representing City Hall of playing an “unethical shell game” in their handling of a $100 million lawsuit filed against Baltimore police officers Milton Smith III, Tyrone Francis and Gregory Hellen. The officers were accused of picking up two West Baltimore teens in 2009 and driving one to East Baltimore and dropping the other off in a Howard County park.
One of the boys, 15, was found without shoes 11 miles from his home.
