- tastroder 7y agoLooks like two strokes wore him down enough to settle in 2017. https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/robert-groden-kennedy-assassination-expert-settles-with-dallas-over-dealey-plaza-arrests-9260827 https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/robert-groden-kennedy-as...

- chrischen 7y agoThe article says it's actually the city that settled to pay him $25,000.
- dorfsmay 7y agoThat seems very low for 82 wrongful court case, and crass to wait until he is 79 yo and had 2 strokes before they settle. It also raises question about abuse of power and justice for people who are not rich.
- HillRat 7y agoA new city attorney settled with him a year later as part of an effort to get the city free of a whole raft of §1983 violations, the sort of incessant petty but systemic abuses of authority that can lead to municipal bankruptcy.
- dang 7y agoGood catch; year added above.
- rjbwork 7y agoHe settled and is able to do it free and clear as of a couple of years ago. I visited dallas last summer and went to talk to him for a few minutes. Had no cash on me so I couldn't buy one of his DVD's he's selling. He needs to get square or something. Seemed like an alright guy. I thanked him for fighting the good fight against government overreach and went on my way.
