Civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced the family of D'Vontaye Mitchell has reached an amicable settlement with the Hyatt Regency Hotel's operator after a prolonged legal process. Crump praised the good faith discussions that led to the resolution, emphasizing the importance of supporting the grieving family while maintaining confidentiality about the settlement amount. He stated, 'We are pleased to share that we have reached an amicable settlement.' This highlights the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability following tragic incidents.
Aimbridge Hospitality, the operator of the Hyatt, released a statement following the settlement, noting that it aimed to provide comfort to Mitchell's family. The company highlighted that the resolution was a product of 'good faith discussions,' indicating that positive dialogue can sometimes lead to peaceful resolutions, even amid grave circumstances. Their statement reaffirmed their intention to support the family as they navigate their loss, emphasizing the need for compassion in challenging situations.
As the Mitchell family settles their legal dispute, the four men accused of causing his death are facing murder charges. Former security guards Todd Erickson and Brandon Turner, along with others involved, have been ordered to stand trial for felony murder, which underscores the stark divide between civil settlements and criminal accountability. With potential prison sentences looming, the process illustrates the complexities of pursuing justice in a system that often keeps civil and criminal matters separate.
