the negotiations were supervised by Acting Justice Martin Shulman, and he is expected to approve the accord, lawyers close to the case said.Ms. Launders strongest claim may have been against the Board of Education. She was prepared to prove, Mr. Famighetti said, that a student teacher in Lisas first grade classroom in Greenwich Village had told the teacher in charge that she had observed bruises in various stages of healing on Lisa. That teacher had failed to file a report of suspected child abuse as is required to do under the law, he asserted.Child welfare workers and police officers had both been to the familys West 10th Street apartment and seen evidence of abuse but failed to act on it, Mr. Famighetti said.But, Eugene Borenstein, the chief of the Tort Division for the City Corporation Counsels Office, said that the City acknowledged no wrongdoing in agreeing to the settlement. It was in the taxpayers interest to settle the case rather than face a punishing verdict, reflecting the jurors anger at what our codefendant, Mr. Steinberg, had done.
