Luuuuuucy!!!!

You got some 'splainin' to do!

• On the eve of a Chicago City council vote, lawyers for the family of a woman who died as a result of a high speed police chase are working to salvage a settlement deal worth millions more than originally awarded.

  The Council’s Finance Committee will be asked to authorize a $27 million settlement Friday with the family of Stacy Vaughn-Harrell. The family’s lawyers on Thursday urged Council members to give the OK, arguing there’s new evidence that would cause the price to balloon if the case were tried again.

This case already went to trial and a judgement of $10 million was handed down. There's plenty of information attached to this and in the public realm that this wasn't that far out of line with previous findings. We don't like it, but there's precedent.

The City decided to appeal, and suddenly "new information" comes to light and the City decides to offer....$27 million.

What did Corp Counsel completely "overlook" that necessitated an offer of three times the original finding? And when we say "overlook," what we mean is:

• what did Corp Counsel conceal from discovery that now came to light?

Who f#$%ed this up at Corp Counsel?

Who's getting fired?

Who is being disbarred?
