By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti
A county is paying $1.3 million to settle a medical malpractice lawsuit over the injuries suffered by a mentally disturbed patient.

Court documents say that in the 2004 incident, the 27-year-old mentally handicapped person was in a seclusion room on the hospital?s fifth floor when he climbed out a window and tried to jump 15 to 20 to a fire escape landing.
