Beyond the waiver, the lack of before and after photos or documentation precisely what Lyon asserted retention further weakened his case, the court noted. Neither Lyon, his lawyers nor Thurston prosecutors commented on the ruling.
Lyon retains Eric T. Krening of Osinski Law Offices. Defendants, like the Thurston County commissioners and sheriff, enlist Jon Tunheim and Scott C. Cushing of the county prosecutor’s office. The case is Lyon et al. v. Thurston County et al., number 3:23-cv-05450 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, Seattle.
