Depends on what the issue is. For example, OJ Simpson won his criminal murder case but lost his civil wrongful death case.

But when people die, why does the family get rewarded money? What if a person was killed by police but had no family. If he lived in an apartment with roommates, can those roommates file suit because they're neighbors?
If the person is dead, whoever is in charge of the estate could. A roommate who had nothing to do with the deceased's estate has zero standing.

Also, what's up with the thread title? Something like 120 persons were tortured by CPD over the span of 2 decades, and the headline only reads, "Blacks get reparations?"

Now he is one of more than 100 people, mostly black men, who stand to receive money from the city of Chicago for being tortured by Chicago police. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and some aldermen in Chicago announced a $5.5 million reparations package proposal Tuesday. The measure is expected to be approved.
