SEATTLE (AP) — A woman who was sought by federal prosecutors for allegedly lying to a grand jury investigating the 2001 murder of Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Wales has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor obstruction charge.The Seattle Times reports U.S. District Judge James Robart sentenced Shawna Reid of Marysville, Washington, to time served — a total of nine days in custody since she was indicted in 2019. The 2019 indictment of Reid on felony charges of lying to and obstructing a grand jury investigating Wales’ killing was seen as a potential break in the case, which remains unsolved. But the government appears to have gotten little out of the prosecution. Reid’s attorney says Reid never had anything more to offer the investigation.
