One of the lawsuits tied to the death of 20 year old Brandon Ellingson has been resolved. As part of the settlement of the civil lawsuit, the state of Missouri will be paying Ellingson’s family $9 million, ending the nearly two year case. The criminal case against former trooper Anthony Piercy is still unresolved, however. Piercy is scheduled to appear in Morgan County for his hearing. Piercy faces the charge after arresting Ellingson for an alleged DWI and, during transportation, Ellingson fell overboard and drowned. Judge Roger Prokes will preside over the trial
