Lynn E. Moberly

I was appalled seeing her try cases while seeing her preside over my son’s case. She was incredibly rude and insensitive, constantly talking and laughing throughout proceedings and making jokes about the various. Maybe this is nothing new in court rooms, but her callous, self-righteousness made me si...ck. During sentencing, 2 other cases were decided before my sons. The first was a young, wealthy attractive girl with a private attorney, who was a accused of DUI among other things. Her and her mother also thought everything was a joke and kept giggling and interrupting the proceedings. She was let off, and the charges were dismissed because her lawyer promised she would go to treatment program. All three women were joking and laughing together afterwards. Maybe Ms. Moberly and the mother were friends? Next was a homeless man with a public defender, accused of a petty shoplifting crime. His public defender applauded that although he was homeless, without transportation he had make every court appearance and asked for leniency. Ms. Moberly looked at the man with a disgusted look and sentenced him to 3 months in jail. I lost all hope for our criminal justice system that day. I don’t know how she sleeps at night. She is a horrible representative of the law and frankly her actions reflect on the city of Issaquah… shame on her and the city for allowing her to hold her position one more day.

Ms. Moberly was the prosecutor in a case of mine. My girlfriends ex boyfriend (who was physically and sexually abusive through their relationship) hit her and pushed her down a flight of stairs about 4 or 5 months after we got together. I ran into the ex at pine lake park, when I approached him to te...ll him to back off her and leave her alone, he took a swing at me. At that point I defended myself, and because he was the bloody one, the police and ms. Moberly decided I was the one to charge in the situation. Ms. Moberly was horrible to my girlfriend in their interview, because her mind was already made up. It wasn't her job at that point to get the truth, but just to embarrass the defendant or anyone associated with him. Her behavior and reactions in that interview was incredibly unprofessional. I was essentially forced to take an soc, and owe alot of money in lawyer fees. Ms. Moberly is everything that is wrong with our legal system today.
