Should the Brown family be compensated?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The children of the late DeKalb Sheriff-elect Derwin Brown, made an impassioned plea to the state claims board on Monday be paid $3.6 million for the loss of their father.
Brown was assassinated outside his home in December 2000 before he took office.
They were rejected — told that their father’s murderer, defeated incumbent Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, was “evil” and acted on his own.
Should the state compensate the Brown family for the murder of their father? How much should the state pay?
