(Salem, OR) -- A Southern Oregon family has a one-point-six million dollar settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit, and an apology from Oregon State Police, for the officer involved shooting death of 55-year-old Robert Box. It happened during a domestic disturbance in May of 2015. After eight years of legal wrangling, the State Court of Appeals ruled that troopers Gregor Smyth and Heather West were trespassing when they sneaked onto the family's property, and did not follow their training. The court also found evidence backing the family's claim that OSP kept Trooper Smyth as a patrol officer, despite a dangerous performance deficiency, rendering him unfit to be a state trooper.
