OLYMPIA – The state will pay $3.25 million to settle two plaintiffs’ claims in a lawsuit brought against the state Department of Corrections by the family of an alleged victim and daughters of a victim of convicted killer Michael “Cowboy Mike” Braae. According to the settlement agreement filed Friday in Thurston County Superior Court, the payout includes $3 million to the two daughters of Braae’s 2001 homicide victim, Lori Jones of Lacey. The state also will pay $250,000 to the estate of Karen Peterson, who said Braae sexually assaulted her in Yakima County in 2001. In 2008, Braae was sentenced to nearly 48 years in prison for raping and murdering Jones in her Lacey apartment in summer 2001. He was arrested in Idaho in 2001 after leading police on a 40-mile car chase, which ended when he jumped from a 40-foot-high bridge into the Snake River. An Idaho sheriff’s deputy testified a police boat picked up Braae after he tried to drown a police dog sent into the water to catch him. Read More. |
