Sheriff pays lobbyists $395 an hour to avoid paying millions to man shot by deputy

▤ Summary

Deputy Adams Lin shot Stephens four times while stopping him for a bicycle infraction. Dashcam footage showed Lin opening fire four seconds after Stephens got off his bike. The jury deemed it to be excessive force. Now, Stephens is fighting in the Legislature to get the payout his attorneys say is needed for a lifetime of medical care and to send a message that police brutality won’t be tolerated.
