Denver asks SCOTUS to halt $14M payout to George Floyd protesters

Denver has petitioned the Supreme Court to halt a $14 million payout to 12 protesters injured by police during the 2020 George Floyd protests. The city argues that an independent monitor's testimony improperly influenced the jury's verdict, which found excessive force by Denver police. The 10th Circuit upheld the verdict, but Denver seeks a stay to review the case in SCOTUS, citing potential harm to taxpayers.
