The horrifying security video footage--of a fifteen-year-old girl beaten, while in custody, by King County Sheriff Deputy Paul Schene--that was released on Friday, thank god, has raised more than just local hackles: Schene is now under a civil rights federal investigation for his unbelievably irresponsible actions in that holding cell. Aside from the ongoing internal Sheriff's Office investigative findings and whatever disciplinary action will (we hope) weigh heavily on Schene's head as a consequence, the man now faces a $250,000 fine and a possible five years in prison if he's found guilty on this federal civil rights charge.

A prominent Seattle attorney who has some awesome glamour shots and goes by the name Anne Bremner has been brought on to assist with Amanda Knox's defense. Bremner has served as counsel for high-profile clients like Governor Christine Gregoire and the Seattle Police Department. Bremner has been brought on to help get the word out on the evidence, or as she says, "the lack of evidence," against Knox. Bremner has been hired by private supporters of Knox, including King County Superior Court Judge Ed Heavey and Seattle Prep High School, Knox's alma mater.
