The answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I read about this elsewhere today. The perp will be retried.
If this thug kills again then innocent blood will be reckoned to these black robed immoral tyrants—forever.
wow. as bad as things are, things like this show we’ve sunk further than i thought.
sounds like the policeman’s un-PC remarks are the result of experience, not prejudice. and why do the Judges think witnesses to cold blooded murder in broad daylight, won’t testify? it’s a crime to speak the truth now?
reminds me of the NJ police being accused of racism and profiling, for saying blacks were much more likely to massively exceed the speed limit. until it turned out the study was done by cameras, who didn’t know the race of the drivers...
“Maybe this killer’s next victim will be a Washington Supreme Court justice.”
One can hope.
People forget that judges are lawyers who often where defense attorney’s earlier in their careers.

Did you read the opinion? I did.
This guy is almost surely guilty, but the prosecutorial abuse was extremely blatant. While this guy will be convicted in a new trial, what about prosecutorial abuses of this nature in cases wher the accused is actually innocent.
And for your information, the Washington State Supreme Court, is not criminal defendant friendly. In fact, it is just the opposite in almost all cases.
There are two famous -at least in the crimal law area - cases where the SCOTUS reversed by 9-0 votes decisions involving constitutional violations in Washington cases.
Theses cases are Blakely v. Washington and Crawford v. Washington.
“PO-leese.”? Oh you mean Po-Po.
You normal, honest sane people out there ( I am sincere ) have NO CLUE as to how broken, mangled and arbitrary the American “criminal justice” system is. If you did . . .
