$300K+ for Ray Tensing from UC

( Cincinnati ) - University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto on Thursday announced that a settlement has been reached between UC and former UC Police Officer Ray Tensing.

In a statement, Pinto says that UC will pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars in back pay and one hundred thousand dollars in legal fees. Tensing, represented by the Fraternal Order of Police, sued the university for firing him without a hearing after Tensing fatally shot Sam DuBose in 2015. Tensing was never convicted of any crime, with two juries unable to reach a unanimous verdict over the course of two trials.
