$9 Million Settlement by Washington State Department of Corrections in Zamora Case
Olympia, WA (PRWEB) July 02, 2013 -- A recent $9 million settlement resulted from the series of shootings by a mentally-ill felon that caused six deaths and multiple injuries across Skagit County, Washington State in 2008.
Bellingham attorney Dean Brett of Brett Murphy, assisted by Gene Moses, represented four of the nine plaintiffs in this tragic and complicated case (Snohomish County Superior Court Cause #11-2-08078-0).
Isaac Zamora was a mentally ill felon with a criminal record, under the supervision of the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC).
The case encompassed five years of investigation including nearly 100 depositions and thousands of pages of documents. Following extensive mediations and negotiations during which the DOC acknowledged no wrong doing, the Department of Corrections settled the case for $9 million, according to the settlement agreement.
