What happened with the N. HOllywood shootout lawsuit?

[Mr.Miskatonic]

Some may remember the shootout, its on every “Police Videos” TV show. 2 robbers, heavily armed and wearing BP vest. Rob a bank and shoot it out with police for the better part of an hour. Finally the police eget the pair and one of them is killed outright while other dies not long after.

If you may recall a bit of Chutzpah, the family of the robberdecided to sue the city/police because the police "let him die’ rather than risking givng medical attention to a possibly boobytrapped deathwish robber.

I’ve found articles where teh case was announced, but couldn’t find anything about it being resolved. Anyone know what happened?

  The lawsuit filed by the family of Emil Matasareanu was declared a mistrial since the jury was hopelessly deadlocked 9-3.  Yagman vows to keep trying the case in the "hopes that more and more jurors will agree that the LAPD must do everything possible to keep even the most vile suspect from dying in custody".

June 20,2000: The children of Emil Matasareanu said they are willing to drop their civil rights lawsuit against the city and two police officers provided the officers are barred from counter suing for malicious prosecution.

That seems to be the most current info I could find.
