CHICAGO, June 5 (UPI) -- Chicago officials said they received an $11 million bill for the settlement of a lawsuit over wrongful arrests made during a 2003 anti-war march.
The figure, almost double the amount agreed upon in court, accounts for the final sum of nearly $5 million in lawyers' fees from nine years of litigation, as well as the $6.2 million in compensation for nearly 900 people detained or arrested on charges later dropped.
