The documented position
Latest published context
Fane Lozman was speaking during a Riviera Beach city council meeting in November 2006 when an officer removed and arrested him. The meeting camera captured it. Years of litigation followed, including a Supreme Court decision. But the eventual settlement’s headline amount conceals an important detail: only one dollar was allocated to nominal damages.
Coverage includes the November 15,2006 meeting, June 18,2018 SupremeCourt ruling and signed January 13,2020 agreement. Approval was a condition in those terms; the account does not supply a verified final dismissal date, payment receipt or personal-net recovery.
