This case has been a terrible tragedy for the Bell Family and no amount of money will cure the pain they have endured the past few years. With that said the city coughed up the money which they should have for the murderous and callous actions of these police officers.

The city agreed Tuesday to pay more than $7 million to settle a wrongful death civil suit lodged by the fiance and pals of Sean Bell, an unarmed man gunned down by cops on his wedding day, sources said.
The settlement, approved by a Brooklyn federal magistrate, ends a four-year legal battle by tragic would-be bride Nicole Paultre Bell and two men wounded in a 50-shot barrage that claimed her lover"s life.
Under the agreement, the city will pay Paultre Bell, the mother of Sean Bell"s two children, $3.25 million, according to a source familiar with the settlement.
Bell"s pals Joseph Guzman, 35, will receive $3 million and Trent Benefield, 27, will be granted $900,000.
