Judge Rejects Bid to Boot Clark County Prosecutor's Office

Clark County Superior Court Judge Robert Lewis dismissed a defense motion to disqualify the entire Clark County Prosecutor's Office from a case against Steven Michael Ward. The motion stemmed from lead prosecutor Laurel Smith's acknowledged relationship with Sgt. James Dewey, the case's lead investigator. Smith has since been screened off the case. https://clarkcountytoday.com/news/judge-dismisses-motion-to-disqualify-clark-county-prosecutors-office-from-case/ #ClarkCounty #ClarkCountyProsecutor #LaurelSmith #VancouverWA #WashingtonState #CourtsAndLaw #LocalNews
