  • King County Judge Tosses Case
    Accused killer defamed? King County judge tosses case Originally published November 18, 2016 at 7:31 pm Updated November 19, 2016 at 1:43 pm A judge has tossed out celebrity defense attorney John Henry Browne’s defamation suit against another prominent Seattle lawyer. By Lewis Kamb Seattle Times staff reporter A judge has tossed out celebrity defense attorney John Henry Browne’s defamation suit against a prominent Seattle lawyer who is opposing him in a high-profile wrongful-death case. King County Superior Court Judge James E. Rogers on Thursday dismissed Browne’s claims that plaintiff’s attorney Karen Koehler defamed his client, accused killer Tracy McNamara, by posting false information about the wrongful-death case on her law firm’s website. While Rogers acknowledged Koehler’s website included some minor inaccuracies about some aspects of McNamara’s case, the judge concluded the writings were protected under the “Fair Report Privilege,” which allows public recountings of defamatory statements that are made as part of official proceedings. Koehler, the former president of the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association, who represents 20 victims of last year’s deadly Ride the Ducks tourist-vehicle crash, said Friday that the ruling saw through what amounted to Browne’s “bully tactics.” “We said from the very beginning that this was nothing more than a vindictive, ill-based lawsuit filed for the sole purpose of harassment and intimidation,” Koehler said. “To base a lawsuit like this on such flimsy grounds, I think is evidence of not a very balanced legal mind.” Browne — who has defended such clients as serial killer Ted Bundy and the Barefoot Bandit during a career spanning more than four decades — declined to comment Friday, saying in an email he hadn’t yet read the ruling.
