Judge approves DeBrodie civil settlement

A federal judge on Wednesday officially signed a settlement to a civil suit filed by Carolyn Summers, the mother of Carl DeBrodie.

DeBrodie is the Fulton man with special needs found encased in concrete in a storage unit in 2017. He’d been dead for months, even though several people said they had been giving him face-to-face care.

The attorney of DeBrodie’s mother said in October there’s enough money in the settlement to care for DeBrodie’s mom and more.

Second Chance group home and Sherry Paulo and Anthony Flores, Sr. are among those named in the suit. Paulo and Flores are also facing criminal charges.
