Kandula, 23, was struck and killed by Officer Kevin Dave on the night of January 23 when his overspeeding patrol vehicle hit her. However, SPOG that night also provided Dave with an attorney from the law firm of Frey Buck, who also appeared at the West Precinct. After Dave was given his Miranda warning by the case detective, he refused to give a statement to investigators, according to reports. The Seattle Police Department on Tuesday said that they will review the policy that allows a police union official to be involved in an investigation of a rank-and-file officer they represent and defend, the Seattle Times newspaper reported. Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by The Telegraph Online staff and has been published from a syndicated feed.
