Auburn officer's trial tests deadly force law
The murder trial against Auburn police officer Jeff Nelson is underway in Kent today.
Arguments are centering around the officer’s training and the testimony of some key witnesses.
It’s an important test of a voter initiative that made it easier to prosecute police officers who use deadly force. KUOW’s crime and law enforcement reporter Amy Radil will bring us up to speed on the case.
