HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut judge has approved a $9 million settlement between the state and the brother of a man who was abused numerous times at the state's only maximum-security psychiatric hospital. Lawyers in the case announced the judge's approval Thursday. The abuse scandal involving patient William Shehadi at Whiting Forensic Hospital in 2017 led to the arrests of 10 employees, the firings of nearly three dozen workers and reforms at the state-run facility in Middletown. A lawyer for Shehadi's brother, Albert Shehadi, says the settlement amount is the largest ever paid by the state to a single person.
