King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion laid out her policy and practice changes for her new administration on Tuesday in a press conference at the King County Courthouse. Among the announcements was the creation of two new divisions -- one focused on gender-based violence and one tackling economic crimes and wage theft.
