Verdicts & Settlements September 26, 2005: City must pay $12M over woman's slaying

By USA, Lawyers Weekly
Publication: Lawyer's Weekly USA
Date: Monday, September 26 2005

The city of Tacoma, Wash., agreed to pay $12 million on Sept. 13, to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of a woman slain by her police chief husband.

Crystal Brame was fatally wounded in April 2003 by her estranged husband, Tacoma Police Chief David Brame, who then killed himself. The

killings prompted numerous investigations and lawsuits, with allegations that Brame had been promoted despite a failed psychological examination and a rape claim against him.

The family's lawsuit contended that officials never investigated allegations that Brame abused his wife, did not protect her and intimidated her during the couple's divorce.

The agreement will provide the family with $1 million from the city's general fund and $11 million from insurance, the city said in a statement.
