The agreement was reached between the administration of Prince George’s County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks (D) and longtime Baltimore-based attorney William H. “Billy” Murphy. “Black lives matter.”At a news conference Monday, Alsobrooks said the settlement represented the county “accepting responsibility” for mistakes made in Green’s death. The $20 million Prince George’s settlement is one of the biggest involving an African American killed by an on-duty officer in the United States, Murphy said. During the news conference in the county government office building in Largo, members of Green’s family joined Murphy, Alsobrooks and other officials. Shelly Green, Green’s daughter, said that while the settlement would never bring her father back, the family planned to use part of it to combat police brutality.
