Pierce County prosecutors reviewing the investigation into the fatal police shooting of Kevin Peterson Jr. have a thorny history with one of the attorneys representing the 21-year-old Black man’s family.
Peterson’s family is being represented by civil rights lawyer Ben Crump and attorneys in Tacoma with Herrmann Law Group. One of the attorneys is Mark Lindquist, who was Pierce County’s top prosecutor before being unseated in November 2018 by former colleague Mary Robnett.
