LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A man who was attacked by a group of people -- including two off-duty Los Angeles firefighters -- and choked to unconsciousness on Halloween night 2015 in Chatsworth reached a $7.4 million settlement of his lawsuit against the assailants, his attorney said today.
Ring has criticized prosecutors for allowing the men to plead to misdemeanors.
"Samuel was brutally beaten by these thugs," Ring said. "The civil settlement provides him with some justice for what he endured. Yet we remain incredibly disappointed that the District Attorney's Office failed to hold the defendants accountable for this horrific attack."
Chang sued the group of men in 2017. Ring filed court papers Jan. 30 asking that the case be dismissed, according to court records.
