James Bible Law Group Announces $6 Million Settlement in Manuel Ellis Wrongful Death Case.

Tacoma, WA – July 2, 2025 – The James Bible Law Group announces the resolution of the wrongful death lawsuit brought on behalf of the Estate of Manuel Ellis against the City of Tacoma. The City has agreed to pay $6 million to Mr. Ellis’ family. This settlement comes after a previous $4 million settlement paid by Pierce County in 2022, bringing the total compensation for the family to $10 million.

“This has been a long and painful journey for the Ellis family,” said attorney James Bible. “They have remained steadfast in their pursuit of accountability and some measure of justice for Manny.”

Manuel Ellis was killed in March 2020 after being stopped, beaten, tased, hogtied, and suffocated by Tacoma Police officers. He repeatedly told officers, “I can’t breathe, sir,” to which one officer callously responded, “Shut the f**k up.”

The tragic death of Manuel Ellis occurred just weeks before the murder of George Floyd and became a catalyst for the “I Can’t Breathe” movement in Washington State. His death was the first in 85 years to result in murder charges against multiple law enforcement officers in Washington.

“This case garnered local, state, national, and international attention. The world saw Manny’s final moments. His family carried the weight of that truth with courage and grace.

We hope that Manny’s name will never be forgotten. His life mattered. We call upon the City of Tacoma to find meaningful ways to honor his name and ensure that what happened to him never happens to another.

The James Bible Law Group remains committed to fighting for families who seek justice in the face of police brutality and wrongful death.

A special thanks to Attorneys Stephen Dermer and Matthew Ericksen for their critical work on this case. We make a great legal team!

Attorney James Bible Secures Swift Justice: Murder Charge Against Thomas McBride Dismissed in Just Three Months

In a remarkable display of legal acumen and dedication to justice, attorney James Bible achieved a swift and decisive victory in King County Superior Court, leading to the dismissal of a murder charge against Thomas McBride. The case, which could have dragged on for years, was resolved in just three months, thanks to Bible's exhaustive investigation and persuasive advocacy.

A Thorough Investigation Uncovers the Truth
Upon taking on McBride's case, Bible embarked on an extensive investigation, meticulously reviewing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and scrutinizing police procedures. His efforts uncovered significant inconsistencies and gaps in the prosecution's case, casting doubt on the validity of the charges.

Bible's investigation revealed that key evidence had been mishandled and that certain witnesses had provided unreliable testimonies. These findings were pivotal in challenging the prosecution's narrative and highlighting the weaknesses in their case.

Persuading Prosecutors to Do the Right Thing
Armed with compelling evidence and a clear understanding of the law, Bible approached the prosecutors with a well-documented argument for dismissal. He presented his findings, demonstrating that proceeding with the case would not only be unjust but also a waste of valuable court resources.

His professionalism and unwavering commitment to justice persuaded the prosecutors to reconsider their position. Recognizing the merit of Bible's arguments and the flaws in their case, they agreed to dismiss all charges against McBride.

A Swift Resolution
The case, which had the potential to span several years, was concluded in just three months. This rapid resolution is a testament to Bible's efficiency and effectiveness in the legal arena. It also underscores the importance of thorough investigation and ethical advocacy in ensuring that justice is served.

McBride's Freedom Restored
Thanks to Bible's tireless efforts, Thomas McBride is now a free man. The dismissal of the murder charge has not only cleared his name but also highlighted the critical role that defense attorneys play in upholding the integrity of the justice system.

This case serves as a powerful reminder that with diligent investigation and a steadfast commitment to truth, even the most daunting legal challenges can be overcome. Attorney James Bible's dedication to his client and the pursuit of justice has made a significant impact, reaffirming the principles upon which the legal system is built.
