She wouldn’t have been shot and burned in her house if she had not been offered that “choice.”
They knew the risks. It is unethical and dangerous to make offers like that.

The City has a financial interest in avoiding an investigation.

Ok, good to know. Could it affect negotiations in a settlement?

This is consistent with what the Public Information Officer told me.
