Clayton county pays millions to fired deputies

Clayton County has paid about $6.5 million dollars to deputies who lost their jobs when Sheriff Victor Hill took office in 2005.

The deputies sued the county.

They accused Hill of wrongful treatment.

The day after the firings, a superior court judge sided with the employees.

He ruled that they were dismissed without cause.

They returned to work two weeks later.
