HOUSTON -- The case that led to the resignation of Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal turned into a big payday for the lawyer who filed the lawsuit.

Attorney Lloyd Kelley filed a civil rights lawsuit against the county over the arrests of Sean and Erik Ibarra.

They had been taking pictures of a neighborhood drug bust.

The county settled the lawsuit, admitting the pair had been wrongfully arrested. The county ended up paying the brothers about $2 million.

The case also uncovered embarrassing e-mails on the computer of former DA Rosenthal.

On Tuesday, the county reached a settlement on the fees to be paid to Kelley and the judge in the case signed off. Kelley will get $1.4 million in attorney fees after asking for $4.4 million.
