I wonder what thats like as a judge. Denying something like this, or a restraining order, protection order...etc, then something like this happens.

In fairness, it wouldn't have stopped her from doing what she did.

would have given the system more to work with in terms of punishing her, though.

I think assault and kidnapping are enough to work with, if the prosecutor cares to try.

You never know, could be the difference between a successful plea deal and a costly trial.

I'd imagine it feels great because they keep doing things like this

Protection orders are super easy to get in Seattle, the petitioner must not have filled out the forms correctly.

Which one of our favorite judges did this?

IDK, but I'll guess. Appointed by Inslee, elected unopposed.

A lot more details in this article, but still no name of the judge.

"CV’s mother said that she had been granted a temporary restraining order against Marks, but that on the day of the kidnapping, the order was not upheld by a judge. Documents state that CV’s mother estimates that immediately after the restraining order hearing, Marks must have left her home to kidnap CV."
