Despite prosecutors demanding 15 years, King County Superior Court Judge Averil Rothrock handed down a lenient sentence so he could \"improve himself.\" Less than seven months after walking out of prison, Hollingsworth is back behind bars—charged with shooting a man in the neck in Federal Way in front of children and caught by Bellevue police carrying a loaded, chambered .45-caliber handgun. In this episode, we break down the bodycam footage, the failure of Washington’s revolving-door justice system, and why activist judges on the bench face zero accountability while putting innocent lives at risk. #KingCounty #SeattleNews #FederalWay #BellevueWA #WashingtonState #PacificNorthwest #3rdAndPine #TrueCrime #CrimeNews #LawEnforcement #BackTheBlue #JudicialAccountability #HoldJudgesAccountable #SoftOnCrime #RevolvingDoorJustice #LeftCoastNews #Police #CriminalJusticeReform #GunViolence #PublicSafety","meta_description":"In 2016, Alrick Hollingsworth opened fire at a crowded Seattle bus stop at 3rd and Pine, wounding five people.
