Civil-rights trial will pit deputy against deputy

Local News | Civil-rights trial will pit deputy against deputy | Seattle Times Newspaper:

A flier calling for King County sheriff's deputies to rally around "our brother, Brian Bonnar," who is accused of beating a handcuffed suspect, has federal prosecutors and sheriff's officials concerned that its intent is to intimidate officers prepared to testify against him.

This is "the first time a law-enforcement officer in Western Washington has been charged under the criminal civil-rights statute."

One of the prosecutors on the case is Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Harris, who is also a UW Trial Ad instructor.
