Jeffrey Nelson Auburn police, officer charged with murder in man's shooting

 Jeffrey Nelson Auburn police, officer charged with murder in man's shooting.

The King County prosecuting attorney says murder charges have been filed against an Auburn police officer in the shooting of a man last year.

Auburn police Officer Jeff Nelson is charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault in the May 31, 2019, shooting death of Jesse Sarey outside a grocery store.

Witnesses described seeing Sarey go on a tirade at a nearby Rite Aid, then continue the rant in a small grocery store across the street.

The shooting happened while Nelson was trying to arrest Sarey for disorderly conduct.

King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg showed a series of four surveillance videos during a Thursday news conference that he said were key in showing what led up to Nelson shooting Sarey twice, including once in the head.

The videos show Nelson telling Sarey he is under arrest for disorderly conduct and then trying to take him into custody. During a struggle between Sarey and Nelson, video shows Nelson start a series of seven punches toward Sarey’s head and upper body.

One video shows the officer push Sarey against a freezer box while drawing his weapon. Prosecutors say Nelson then fired one shot into Sarey’s torso, cleared a jammed round from his gun, and then fired another shot into Sarey’s forehead less than four seconds later.

“After the first shot, Mr. Sarey was on his behind, falling backwards with his legs and feet toward Officer Nelson when the second shot was fired into his head,” a news release from Satterberg said.

UK debt 2 trillion, UK government spending on virus measures pushes. UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year,  said the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Economists warned the situation would worsen before improving. Where do governments borrow money? It is the first time debt has been above 100% of gross domestic product (GDP) since the 1960-61 financial year, the ONS said. The July borrowing figure - the difference between spending and tax income - was £26.7bn, down from a revised £29.5bn in June. It was the fourth highest borrowing in any month since records began in 1993. The three higher figures were the previous three months. Those are big figures. What do they mean? Ruth Gregory, s...

Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details)

 Roger Stone appeal drop of his conviction (Details). Roger Stone, an admitted dirty trickster and longtime associate of President Trump, has dropped the appeal of his conviction for lying to Congress and witness tampering during his work on the 2016 Trump campaign. Stone gave little reason for his concession in a sworn statement filed to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday night, but on his website said that “my attorneys have convinced me that the odds of victory were slim.” “It is time for me to move on with my life with my family, friends, and supporters,” Stone said. “I regret not going forward with the appeal to fully expose all that happened, with the hope that by doing so, I could help prevent it from happening to anyone else ever again; but I had to decide based on what is best for me and my family.” Trump commuted his sentence last month. Stone was convicted in a jury trial last November on seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of Congress and witness ...
