Is he, though?

A seven figure verdict or settlement is considered reputable in almost all lawyer circles. The plaintiff here clearly won't want to go to trial but I doubt the county can hold out against social media outrage and pressure from NAACP and Fairfax.

I don’t think Arlington’s white guilt runs deep enough to hand over $1mil to this obvious grifter.

The outrage that this family is being horrible and ridiculous?

I hope they end up having to reimburse the other side's lawyer fees.

The msot disturbing thing is that these parents have traumatized their poor kid for life.

Also, he stands to keep 33% of any 7 figure settlement he gets out of Arlington which he appears confident he will get.

So just another grifter.

I don’t expect it to be public either. The family will be happy and APS frees itself from a costly legal fight.

I would want any settlement to be public. Taxpayers have a right to know and this family made the issue public. I would also want to know if there is no settlement. If there was residency fraud, a reasonable settlement might be zero payment on both sides to resolve all claims.

I just find it interesting there was so much initial publicity from the family and NAACP and now not a peep.

Bingo. Everybody has gotten very, very quiet. Certainly nobody has made any public statements about how the residency fraud questions are untrue, or mean, or racist, or whatever.

Settlement negotiations are usually very quiet. You likely won't hear anything until you see a huge line item legal fee in next year's budget.

Not going to happen. The NAACP has distanced themselves since discovering the family only established residency after the incident occurred. This is going nowhere. Fairfax should drop them, but won’t. He doesn’t have any farther to fall.

Is the demand letter to APS available to the public?

Dude, this lady is not getting a 7-figure settlement. Even civil rights plaintiffs with actual cases don’t get that much. This is a nuisance-value case if anything, barely 5 figures.

I have found the best part of that letter:

S. is an eighth-grade student at Gunston Middle School (GMS). GMS has long benefitted from S’s matriculation and contributions. S personifies young Black excellence; his strong academic performance, athleticism and sportsmanship, and superior social competency skills have strengthened the school’s performance and culture. What S. has given to GMS, however, has not been reciprocated.

Jut by BEING there, he his student has made GMS a better place!
