Any chance that after his criminal trial the remaining defense funds will be part of the settlement in the civil trial. It's not likely any money will be left over when the lawyers get done but it would be pleasantly ironic if all those goobers donating to Wilson saw their donations end up in Brown's family bank account.

(14,449 posts)Pretty much anyone in government is given legal representation. Civil case maybe too. Again, he was on duty. The county will pay fines and fees too most likely.

I'm not a legal expert, just trying to learn.

(14,449 posts)It would be easier to know some answers if he wasn't a government employee and especially on duty. We will find out though.
