A federal judge approved the settlement Tuesday between Wal-Mart and the family of Sherry White. White was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Sherry White's family sued Wal-Mart, claiming it was negligent in selling White the shotgun because White indicated on a federal form that he was under a restraining order.
Federal law bars people under restraining orders from buying guns.
Under the settlement, Wal-Mart did not admit to any wrongdoing. The couple's daughters are 2 and 5. All Rights Reserved. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
