Judge Lewis is likely the only honest Judge in Clark County; and that is based on personal knowledge. I think he will recommend that the convictions be vacated if he can withstand the pressure to not do so. Prior to be appointed to the bench, he was a very successful criminal appellate attorney who won far more than his share of appeals.
Once the conviction is tossed, This guy will have a huge civil rights action against the county and the state. The withholding of evidence is very similar to what happened to t he three guys in MA who were framed by the FBI and US Attorney and pretty much each got $1 million for each year in prison.
I know a lot of the players for the prosecutor's office, the sheriff's office and the courts. Must be one of the most corrupt counties in the United States.
From the Seattle Times article:
and the fact that his mother had had an affair with Krause's supervisor.
Some parts of this story are just mind-boggling....
