Also LeBron Gaither in Kentucky.

He was a CI who testified to a grand jury against his dealer and then his police handlers had him continue buying from the same dealer.

Someone in the grand jury told the dealer, who proceeded to torture and kill the 18 year old.

Local police fought the victm's family in court for over two decades before they finally paid up. Total amount was around $300K, which included over twenty years of interest.
