Ex-prosecutor takes on Supreme Court

He’s a shade grayer than I remembered, although that’s understandable for a man edging up against 80. Trim and fit, he still has those smiling eyes that can bore right through you. He seems sharper than ever, pulling facts and dates out of his head at will and explaining complex points of law with ease. No doubt about it. Facing Don Brockett in a courtroom would still be a criminal’s worst nightmare. Brockett spent 33 years in the Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office, serving 25 of those years as prosecuting attorney. He helped put away Fred/Kevin Coe, the infamous South Hill Rapist, tried three death penalty cases and once successfully argued a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Those are just a few of the high points. Brockett, who retired in 1994, was hands down the best prosecutor we ever had. And now he can add “author” to his long and impressive resume/ Doug Clark , SR.

Question: On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you trust the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court?
