Four Wisconsin media outlets have reached a financial settlement with Dane County in a lawsuit about the release of 911 calls in the slaying of a student. The outlets successfully sought the release of 911 tapes and other records in the case of Brittany Zimmermann, the 21-year-old University of Wisconsin-Madison student who was found stabbed in her Madison apartment on April 2, 2008. The 911 calls became important components of the investigation after county officials said a 911 dispatcher mishandled Zimmermann?s minute-long call.
