Pirolozzi Settlement



The wrongful death case of Shawn Pirolozzi may finally be coming to and end.  Canton City Council is set to begin consideration of a proposed 1.8 million dollar settlement of the matter,  stemming pirolozzi's death after a 2005 confrontation with police officers.  Last May, a federal court jury ordered the city to pay more than 2 million dollars to the man's estate.  An appeal filed by the city could lead to a re-trial, but the city may not want to go that route.
