In 2010, Chan Ok Kim, also known as Paul Kim, was sentenced to 244 months in prison for the 2008 murder of Baerbel Roznowski. Kim had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Roznowski, 66, was killed in her home May 3, 2008. She and Kim had dated for 16 years. There was a history of domestic violence in the home and Roznowski sought an anti-harassment order against Kim on May 1.

Later that year, a jury found the Federal Way Police Department negligent in enforcing the 2008 anti-harassment protection order issued to Kim,

The jury ruled unanimously awarded Roznowski’s estate $1.1 million.
