The city of Birmingham settled a controversial police beating lawsuit for over $450,000, but Anthony Warren, the plaintiff remains in prison and won’t see even half of the settlement. In his lawsuit, Warren claimed five Birmingham police officers used excessive force when they hit and kicked him at the end of a high speed chase in 2008. Under terms of the settlement approved by the City Council and the Mayor, Warren will receive $1,000, while his attorneys receive $359,000 in fees and $1000 in expenses, according to sources.
