Family speaks out on $3.8 million settlement following deacon's death after tasing

The family of Johnny Hollman, the 62-year-old Atlanta deacon who died after an Atlanta police officer tased him following a minor crash in August 2023, spoke out after reaching a $3.8 million settlement with the city of Atlanta

"[The settlement] will never value my father's life," Hollman's daughter, Arnitra Hollman, told "GMA3" co-anchor DeMarco Morgan in an exclusive interview set to air on Thursday.

"$3.8 million will never give us closure. We will live with this pain for the rest of our lives. This is our new normal," she added.

The Atlanta City Council unanimously voted in favor of the settlement on Monday night, agreeing to pay $3.8 million to settle a civil lawsuit filed in January by the Hollman family against the city of Atlanta, former police officer Kiran Kimbrough and Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum.
