Sheriff arrests parents in horrific child abuse case

Sheriff arrests parents in horrific child abuse case, Seattle P-I, Oct. 13, 2008. The facts as reported are very upsetting (a teenage girl starved and denied water over a period of years). Of interest for people thinking about trial work are the documents that the P-I has posted:

  • Information
  • Certification for Determination of Probable Cause
  • Prosecuting Attorney Case Summary and Request for Bail and/or Conditions for Release
It's not that they're extraordinary documents -- just that law school reading doesn't often include documents like these, so you might not have seen them.
