EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A Snohomish County jury is to decide if Simeon Berkley acted out of road rage or self-defense in a 2019 shooting that left an Everett man dead. Berkley was driving a Honda Accord around 7 p.m. that night when a Lincoln Navigator rear-ended him. Berkley got out of his car and walked over to the Navigator while the other driver, Steven Whitemarsh remained in the front seat. Witnesses say the men had a conversation and then Berkley shot Whitemarsh in the face. Berkley’s attorney argued last week that the case is about self-defense.
