The Washington State Court of Appeals, Division III, found Brittany R. J. Adams’ months long wait for an attorney violated her constitutional rights. The three-judge panel overturned her convictions for first-degree theft and forgery and said they couldn’t be refiled.

Franklin County election results: Monty Huber leads in sheriff's race

The Franklin County undersheriff is winning a bid to be the next sheriff. Undersheriff Monty Huber and Connell Police Chief Chris Lee, both Republicans, are competing to replace outgoing Sheriff Jim Raymond in Tuesday’s election. The often outspoken sheriff announced his retirement earlier this year, and has thrown his support behind Huber. After the first night of counting, Huber has received 51%, or 7,796 votes, while Lee got 48%, or 7,223 votes. Write-in candidates received 1% of the vote. Huber has been a longtime fixture in the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. He’s spent 23 years working his way up from deputy to undersheriff. He’s served as a training officer, special investigations unit commander and SWAT commander. He’s been a part of the office’s reaccreditation process and helped create the bi-county sheriff’s posse. He’s also served as a U.S. Army Ranger and as a Connell city councilman. He said the sheriff’s office is in a good position right now. They are fully staffed and have more than 100 applicants on the waiting list. Chris Lee has spent more than 25 years in law enforcement including 16 years at the Richland Police Department. He’s also spent time with the Yakima County Sheriff’s

Yakima city council votes to remove live-feed cameras

YAKIMA, Wash. — The Yakima City Council approved a resolution that starts a 60-day process to remove live-feed Flock cameras inside city limits.The vote was 5-2 (Councilmembers Byers and Glenn voting 'no') after months of discussion and a long council meeting. The new resolution does not fully ban the cameras for good but instead requires council approval before any more could be installed in the city.Yakima Police Chief Shawn Boyle says the vote moved away from a key public safety goal."The number one priority is safe and healthy Yakima. And what is going on with our Council at this point is not supporting the number one mission," Boyle said.People who supported the resolution raised privacy concerns during the meeting. One Yakima resident argued that the debate reflected a broader tradeoff."This concept of trading privacy for security is not new, and it's a concept that's been borne out of fear of your own neighbors," a Yakima resident said.People who opposed the resolution said the live-feed cameras could help lower crime. Another Yakima resident pointed to car thefts in the valley."When Flock came into town in the Yakima Valley, vehicle thefts were at an absolutely unprecedented rate. Those numbers went down dramatically,"
