Supreme Court refuses to hear Rutherford appeal
Court system mishandled case
I wonder how Rutherford’s attorneys would react if they were mugged or robbed by a private citizen and the Seattle Police Department did not take the tactic it did against Rutherford. [“Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal of $1 verdict in SPD case,” NW Tuesday, June 18.] Is security worth more than the $50,000 they seek?
Daily, I am bewildered as to why people on the street seem unconcerned about illegal activity around them. Could it be because of how Rutherford’s attorneys and the court system handled this case?
