Ashli ​​Babbitt's family does an illegal death penalty for almost 5 million dollars

The family of Ashli ​​Babbitt, the wife of San Diego, who was shot during the Capitol Breach, who was shot during January 6, 2021, was shot by the Federal Government for almost 5 million dollars, reported on Monday.

The settlement solves the lawsuit, which was raised by the Judicial Watch by Babbitt Family and Conservative Advocacy Group, who had been looking for $ 30 million, and claimed that the 35-year-old veteran of the Air Force was “attacked” by the American Capitol Police, which had shot her without “warnings or orders”.

Court requests state that an agreement has been reached, but not indicates the number of money specified by several media, in which unnamed sources cited that were familiar with the comparison process.

Babbitt climbed through the broken window of a barricaded door to the spokesman's lobby when she was shot. The Ministry of Justice received no criminal complaint against Lt. Michael Byrd, the official who shot her while the US Capitol police would not be exposed to an inner discipline.

According to the complaint, Babbitt accepted the then President Donald Trump's rally on January 6, “like many other patriotic Americans who took part in the rally, went peacefully to the Capitol. The complaint states that” Ashli ​​did not go to Washington as part of a group or because of illegal or shameful purpose “and” she was there to do what she thought God -given, American freedoms and freedoms. “

The lawsuit states that Babbitt, when she was shot, was unarmed and “no threat to the security of anyone”.

According to the complaint, Byrd was not in uniform and did not identify as a police officer before opening fire. The lawsuit also claims that at that time there were no members of the congress in the spokesman's lobby and that the area was guarded by several armed police officers.

In a television interview in August 2021, Byrd NBC News announced that he had drawn the deduction as a “last way out”.

During the interview, Byrd said: “I tried to wait as long as possible. I hoped and prayed that nobody tried to go through these doors. However, when they comply, I had to take the appropriate measures to save the life of the members of the congress and my colleagues.”

In March Trump told Conservative Outlet Newsmax that it was “a shame” that Byrd was released from misconduct and remained with the US Capitol Police Department.

Trump also described himself as “a big fan of Ashli ​​Babbitt”, “she stood there innocently” when she was shot, and he would “examine” the complaint registered at the time, which had been put to trial next year.
