Judge Kenneth Cowsert Retiring


 

Judge Cowsert, who has been on Snohomish County Superior Court bench since 1999, retired last Friday. I was fortunate to have tried the last case before Judge Cowsert with a verdict coming in last Wednesday. Judge Cowsert has been one of the bright lights on the Snohomish Superior Court bench and we can just hope that his replacement will be able to fill his shoes. White collar crimes lawyer. During the trial Judge Cowsert was exceptional. He made very well reasoned rulings, was accomodating and respectful of all parties and counsel, and perhaps most importantly, let us try the case. Best wishes in retirement.

Not dismayed at the verdict, but at the reaction of what seemed like the entire country, and even my very knowledgeable colleagues. I personally can't say either way that the Anthony jury got it wrong or right.
