• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I am not sure of the status at the moment but John T. Williams family (the woodcarver) are or were pursuing private prosecution. I hope they are successful because this will help us bring about prosecution to many cops who continually break laws with no fear of reprisal.

This might depend on the terms of the settlement. If it was made to settle ALL actions, both against the City of Seattle and Ian Birk then there won't be any "private prosecution".
