The Olympian published a story on Friday about Thurston County Superior Court Judge Richard Hicks retiring.
Hicks, elected in 1992, has been presiding over the civil case of Thompson vs. Wilson, prompting Barb Thompson – who forced an unprecedented judicial review of a coroner’s decision on her daughter’s 1998 death in Toledo – to write, “No, no, no!”
The Lewis County case is still making its way through appeals.
