New King County dashboard tracks felony appearances
The tool lets users search suspect names, hearing dates and bail amounts for felony cases, while excluding misdemeanors, prosecutors said.
- The King County Prosecuting Attorney launched a new online dashboard to track felony first appearances, increasing transparency for victims and families unable to attend court proceedings in King County.
- Dashboard users can search by defendant name, court location, or hearing type to access details including alleged crimes, booking status, arrest times, and bail amounts requested by prosecutors or set by judges.
- Prosecutors have 48 hours after arrest to establish probable cause, typically during a suspect's first appearance before a judge; official charges are often filed during a second appearance.
- The KCPAO excludes judge names from the dashboard due to rising threats against judges, noting 'there is no guarantee of accuracy' and limiting the system to felony cases only.
- Once charges are filed, the trial process begins and the public can track case information through the King County Superior Court Clerk's SCRIPT Portal for ongoing proceedings.
