More Info: After two years and numerous delays, a Spokane police officer accused of shooting an unarmed man in the head is finally in a courtroom facing trial. Opening statements are set for today at the Spokane County Courthouse. Jay Olsen is charged with shooting Shonto Pete after a chase through a Peaceful Valley neighborhood in 2007.
Juror Issue: Based on how long jury selection takes it could run into the NCAA men’s basketball tournament that starts March 19. Olsen’s attorney did ask the judge if the court can take a recess during Gonzaga’s games and the judge said he’d consider it.
