Judge Tanksley’s Condition Worsens
Spokane County District Court Judge Raymond Tanksley Jr.’s battle with cancer has taken a turn for the worse.
Tanksley, 63, is on life-support at Sacred Heart Medical Center, where he has been hospitalized for about a month with cancer of the esophagus, family members said Friday.
A Spokane native, Tanksley graduated from Gonzaga Law School.
He spent 28 years in private practice before being appointed to the bench in 1985.
