Family of Rochelle Anderson files wrongful death suit against Derek Domke

The family of Rochelle Anderson has filed a wrongful death suit against the man convicted of killing her during a March 2008 robbery at a Tomahawk gas station.

 

The lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of Anderson’s 3-year-old daughter against Derek Domke, 19, of Tomahawk and “John Doe,” according to court records.

Domke pleaded guilty to charges of first-degree intentional homicide and armed robbery and was sentenced in January 2009 to life in prison, but can apply for early release in 2053. A Lincoln County judge is considering Domke’s request from earlier this month to withdraw his guilty plea after Domke argued that he suffered from mental disorders and should not have been allowed by his former attorney to enter the plea.
