Frank Clark Prosecutor: "The facts were not as they initially appeared"

Prosecutor in Frank Clark domestic violence incident describes her investigation, and decision to reduce the charge to persistent disorderly conduct.

The Seahawks have received intense criticism this week after two independent investigations by the Seattle Times and King-5 News have called into question the Seahawks' research into Frank Clark's domestic violence incident. These reports noted that the Seahawks did not speak to the witnesses of the incident and challenged claims that Seattle did an extensive background investigation into the situation. The Seahawks selected Clark with the 63rd pick in the NFL Draft.

The witnesses, whose statements were included in the police report, provided detail of their accounts to the Times and to King-5, and those accounts are extremely disturbing.
