The Honorable US District Judge Thomas Zilly set a tentative trial date of 15 Sep after an appeals court rejected Seattle Police Officer Christopher Myers' claim of qualified immunity. The lawsuit names a second officer as a defendant and accuses the Seattle Police Department of demonstrating "deliberate indifference" by not getting Myers " who fired his gun in four separate encounters from 2010 to 2019, three of which were fatal " "professional, mental, or other help to assure he stops shooting people." Myers has not been disciplined or charged with any crimes in connection with those shootings. The mother of murdered Ryan Smith (31) filed the lawsuit against Christopher Myers which was affirmed by the USDJ Thomas Zilly, a Ronald Reagan appointment.
