The two men convicted in connection with the shootings, John Allen Booth Jr. and Ryan J. McCarthy, were both recently released convicts whose oversight by the Department of Corrections prior to the Aug. 21, 2010, homicides was horribly lax, according to the attorney for the victims’ families. “After the shootings occurred, there was a lot of attention brought to the fact that they were felons that were supposed to be supervised,” said Nathan Roberts, the Tacoma-based attorney from Connelly Law Offices, who represented the families in the claim for damages. Roberts described the supervision of Booth and McCarthy as “the worst we’ve ever seen,” explaining that the corrections officer had gone months without checking in with either offender. “The DOC had not done any of the field checks or drug tests that were required with either offender,” he said. The Department of Corrections launched its own internal investigation after the homi- cides, said Chad Lewis, a spokesman for the Department of Corrections.
