From 1983 to 1988 , Bremner was a deputy prosecuting attorney with the criminal division of the King County Prosecuting Attorney 's Office , specializing in sex crimes . During these years she came into contact with a number of high-profile cases , such as the Wah Mee massacre trials ; this experience , along with those later in her career , began to modulate her views on the death penalty . In 1985 , she was deputy prosecuting attorney in a case against a University of Washington policeman believed to be the first person to be charged under the state 's new computer trespass law ; a trial court convicted the policeman of the charges , but the Washington Court of Appeals overturned his conviction
