Judge Expected To Rule On Zimmermann Wrongful Death Suit In May

A Dane County judge is expected to rule in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the parents of slain University of Wisconsin-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann in May.

A pre-trial and motion hearing was held Monday afternoon. Zimmermann’s parents and her fiancé, Jordan Gonnering, filed suit against Dane County and the 911 dispatcher accused of mishandling a call from Brittany’s cell phone sometime before she was killed. The call came on the day she was killed in her West Doty Street apartment last April.
