Seattle Officer Cleared in Fatal Crosswalk Collision with Grad Student

The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office announced that no charges will be filed against the Seattle police officer who struck and killed a 23-year-old graduate student in a crosswalk, citing insufficient evidence to prove a criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt. The officer was responding to a call and driving at 74 mph with sirens activated when the collision occurred. The case gained attention after body-worn camera audio revealed another officer making insensitive remarks about the victim's life, leading to an investigation by the Office of Police Accountability.
