Ind. Decisions - More on: City of Hammond negotiating Mayes settlement

Updating yesterday's entry, Joe Carlson of the NWI Times reports today, in a story that begins:

With millions of dollars on the line, both sides took the sure thing rather than gambling for a better deal.

Attorneys for the city of Hammond and a Gary man who spent a third of his life in prison for a rape he did not commit agreed Monday to settle the man's lawsuit for $4.5 million rather than wait for a ruling on the case from an appeals court.
