A King County Superior Court judge was assaulted by a man well known to Seattle police, but he initially refused to report the crime.
That ensured the dangerous criminal would stay on the streets to assault new victims. Perhaps it is why the King County Executive’s Office intervened.
The suspect, according to a source, has had repeated run-ins with police and may be suffering from mental illness. And police say the judge wasn’t the man’s only victim that morning. The judge initially described the assault as a “push or slap” to the face. The security guard told police he witnessed the assault via surveillance cameras.The judge initially refused to cooperate with Seattle police. But the responding officer documented the report anyway.
And what did the judge mean when he said he’d report if it helped law enforcement? Judge Scott should know that police need a victim in order to make an arrest in a case like this.
