PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
..."Additionally, Nelson faces a first-degree assault charge, also in connection with the May 2019 shooting death of Jesse Sarey, whom he shot twice – once fatally in the stomach and again in the forehead – after responding to a call saying Sarey was behaving erratically at a Walgreens.
Jury selection for Nelson’s trial, which has been continued multiple times, is slated to begin in November 2022. The trial is currently expected to start in January 2023, according to the King County Prosecutor's Office.
Elaine Simons, Sarey’s foster mother, said the delays have been frustrating.
“The continuance is really hard,” Simons said. “The piece that makes it the most difficult is our family, we're trying to move on with our lives, we're trying to heal. And it prolongs that healing process.”
Simons said she’s attended every hearing related to the case over the last 18 months.
"I know that healing is going to be a lifetime thing, but this just keeps reopening it all the time,” she said.
Judge Nicole Gaines Phelps granted the state’s motion for photographs of Nelson’s tattoos, but has not ruled on whether the photos will be admissible as evidence during the trial."
