According to msn, Pinnock’s attorney Caree Harper says they wanted to make sure that 51-year-old Pinnock could have financial stability for the rest of her life and wanted to make sure that Officer Daniel Andrew would not be an officer any longer.
The July 1 incident was captured on video. California Highway patrol officer Andrew punched Pinnock by the side of a freeway.
The video quickly spread widely on the internet and television.
