Description
A judge found no misconduct by the defense for a teen accused of killing five of his family members at a Fall City home earlier this fall, despite allegations of evidence tampering by the state.
In response, the defense accused the state of making the accusations while having evidence that they were untrue, damaging the reputation of the suspect's defense team - and essentially, the suspect's case. Defense counsel also alleged that the King County Sheriff's Office went outside the scope of their documentation of the home, alleging they altered or modified certain parts of the residence. Counsel asked to find intentional misconduct on the part of the state, which the judge also declined to do.
