the city in a wrongful death suit. the family of freddie gray indicated they were likely going to do that but they wanted to wait until the federal investigation was concluded. so what the settlement will do preempts that. the city will now not face a civil lawsuit, rather, the settlement has been reached. >> so even though, as you say, they are in different buckets, civil versus criminal, doesn't it play -- have an impact on a case where these six officers have said they're not guilty and yet the city they worked for has said, let me pay the family $6.4 million. isn't that in a way saying, yeah, we did something wrong here? >> it is, in fact, an admittance by the city that there is certainly enough evidence here that the family would likely be able to win a wrongful death lawsuit. that is a much more lower burden of proof than the criminal case would be in which you have to prove the guilt of the officers. a wrongful death suit is just that, proving that, in fact, this person should not have died
