TACOMA, Wash. (Legal Newsline) – A Washington county will have to face claims it failed a woman who was beaten by her estranged husband who was under electronic home monitoring and had a history of violence.
The Feb. 9 decision by the Washington Court of Appeals says Heather Durham’s estate adequately alleged Pierce County failed its “take-charge” duty in the supervision of Abel Robinson, an HIV-positive paraplegic who was sentenced to a year of electronic home monitoring for methamphetamine charges in 2016.
His criminal history listed 18 counts of assault, domestic violence and harassment at the time of that sentencing. He was supposed to either begin the monitoring or report to jail by Aug. 5, 2016, but did neither.
