 n when former King County Chief Deputy Criminal Prosecutor and Professor D
 avid Boerner\, 85\, passed away peacefully in Mercer Island\, Washington. 
 David followed his beloved wife\, Barbara\, who passed just three months b

 \, father\, grandfather\, and loving husband whose impact will be felt for
  generations.\n\n \n\nAs a prosecutor\, Dave helped modernize Washington's
  legal system\, played a key role on the Norm Maleng-led taskforce that sh
 aped the Community Protection Act and the Sexually Violent Predators Statu
 te\, spearheaded the Sentencing Guidelines Commission\, and advised the st
 ate Supreme Court\, Bar Association\, and other judicial bodies. His contr

 legacy as a leader in criminal justice reform.\n\n \n\nAs a professor\, Da

 0 aspiring lawyers overcome barriers to legal education\, fostering a more
  diverse and just profession. His students didn't just gain legal knowledg
