Carnation killing suspects won't wear shackles in court

Carnation killing suspects won't wear shackles in court, Seattle P-I, Jan. 8, 2008:

Two people charged with killing six members of a family in rural Carnation on Christmas Eve made their first formal court appearance Tuesday as attorneys argued over whether they should wear jail uniforms and shackles in court.

Judge Cheryl Carey granted the defendants' request that they be allowed to wear street clothes (and denied the jail's request that they be kept shackled and in jail clothes to deter escape). The judge said that press could photograph the defendants, but only once they're in street clothes.
