News Tribune wins, will get records of municipal court investigation

Posted on June 12, 2009 by Trent England

The State Supreme Court today unanimously rejected Judge Michael Morgan's stay preventing the release of records from an investigation into his own alleged misconduct. A Federal Way Municipal Court employee complained that Judge Morgan was creating a hostile work environment, prompting the city to hire attorney Amy Stephson to investigate and produce a report. Judge Morgan sued the city to prevent the release of the report; The News Tribune intervened in the suit.
