“Rose Saffioti was sure she was doing the right thing when she encouraged her son to turn himself over to police. An arrest warrant for Michael Saffioti had been issued after he missed a court date. But after one night in jail, he was dead. Now Snohomish County could face a lawsuit over a food allergy that may have been ignored. After eating oatmeal in jail, Michael couldn’t breathe.
