Bill Would Mandate Coroners' Inquests Move Forward

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bill that's met final legislative approval would require that publicly-elected county coroners' inquests in Washington go forward.  The measure was drafted after Antonio Zambrano-Montes was shot to death by Pasco police more than a year ago.  The shooting was ruled justified by the Franklin County prosecutor.  Franklin County Coroner Dan Blasdel pushed for a coroner's inquest regarding the shooting, but it was resisted by county officials until yesterday, the day after lawmakers passed the bill.
