How much does he get after lawyers and taxes? Ima guessing about two bits.
A former police officer arrested by Tennessee officials for making a Facebook post about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s murder will receive $835,000 as part of a wrongful incarceration settlement, CNN reported on Wednesday.
„Under the deal announced Wednesday, Larry Bushart, agreed to drop the five-month-old case alleging that his constitutional rights were violated when officials in Perry County, Tennessee, held him in jail,“ said the report, noting that the lawsuit, brought with help from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), had been set to go to trial in two months. „‚I am pleased my First Amendment rights have been vindicated,‘ Bushart said in a statement Wednesday. ‚The people’s freedom to participate in civil discourse is crucial to a healthy democracy.'“
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA and an outspoken champion of far-right and Christian nationalist causes under the Trumpadministration, was shot and killed by a sniper during a political debate at Utah Valley University last September.

Of course he was jailed in TN!
