Wis. court: Man can’t sue over fiancee’s slaying (AP)

A slain University of Wisconsin-Madison student?s fiance cannot sue authorities for mishandling her 911 call or the couple?s landlords for lax security because he doesn?t have the legal standing, a court ruled Thursday. The District 4 Court of Appeals dismissed two lawsuits filed by Jordan Gonnering, whose fiancee, Brittany Zimmermann, was stabbed and strangled by an intruder in their Madison apartment in April 2008. The killing remains unsolved.
