The family of a man who died after being restrained in an Ohio county jail says they've reached a $7 million settlement with the county and are pushing officials there to prevent something like it from happening again. A lawyer for the family of Christian Black, who died March 26, said Tuesday that Montgomery County has taken responsibility and officials there have indicated they would take steps, such as adding inpatient beds for people in need of mental health help. But attorney Michael Wright also says that Black’s family wants to see more, such as jail officers charged and convicted in Black's death.
