Judge retains heroin charges
Bomber decision blasted The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin have filed formal protests over the Pentagon’s choice of Northrop Grumman. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer
EVERETT — The Boeing Co. and Lockheed Martin are challenging the Pentagon’s decision
to tap competitor Northrop Grumman to build a new stealth bomber, a contract worth up to $80 billion. The Boeing-Lockheed Martin team filed formal protests
Friday with the U.S. Government Accountability Office, which has 100 days to rule. Defense analysts say there is a real chance the decision will be overturned. The outcome likely will affect how much work for the U.S. Air Force’s new, composite-material bomber is done
in Washington. The companies were bidding to build 100 long-range strike bombers, which would first enter service in the 2020s. The Defense Department awarded the contract to Northrop Grumman late last month. See BOMBER, Page A4

EVERETT — A Shoreline man accused of being a major heroin trafficker in Snohomish County lost a bid this week to see the charges against him dismissed over his claims that police and prosecutors violated his right to a fair trial. At issue was the privacy of jailhouse telephone calls made by James Painter, 29. The calls were recorded, including some discussions with his lawyers. Painter’s defense attorney, John Henry Browne of Seattle, said his client’s rights to a fair trial were irreparably damaged last year by detectives who listened to a recorded phone call the defendant had with another lawyer who was then handling his case. Browne said charges should be dismissed, or in the alternative, Snohomish County prosecutors barred from handling the case. Superior Court Judge Millie Judge on Thursday turned down both requests. That happened after the judge conducted unusual hearings across two days that saw detectives and deputy prosecutors questioned on the witness stand about what they did and didn’t do with the recordings. Prosecutors allege that Painter ran a drug organization that sold heroin by the pound and shipped millions of dollars to Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel. The Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force developed an informant and built a case that reportedly includes court-approved wiretaps and a deep dive into Painter’s finances. When he was arrested in January 2014, detectives scooped up 26 pounds of heroin and close to $500,000 in cash. Painter has been jailed since, facing a half dozen felony charges, including drug trafficking and money laundering. Not long after his arrest, Painter placed jailhouse calls to David Gehrke, the defense attorney then working on his case.
