Grant County tried to prosecute Joseph Zamora for the second time for assaulting a police officer, even after Zamora had been convicted of the crime once, served time, and then had the conviction overturned by the Washington Supreme Court.

Korematsu Center for Law and Equality, is one of five attorneys who has been representing Zamora pro bono.

Professor Robert Chang signed an amicus brief in support of Zamora, saying the repeated prosecution is not in the interest of justice.
