Spokane's Notorious Case: Coe & Brockett's Legacy
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Two prominent Spokane figures, Kevin Coe and Donald Brockett, have recently passed away, marking the end of a complex legal saga that began in the eighties. Coe, once accused of being the South Hill rapist, was convicted and spent decades in confinement, maintaining his innocence. Brockett, the prosecuting attorney who charged Coe, was a formidable figure in the courtroom, handling many significant cases. Coes release from civil commitment earlier this year sparked controversy, leading to community protests. Brockett passed away in November, and Coe last Wednesday, leaving behind a complicated legacy for the Spokane community.
