Seattle Mass Shooter Freed Early by Judge — Shoots Again 7 Months Later

Seattle Mass Shooter Freed Early by Judge — Shoots Again 7 Months Later

Author: Behind The Line Podcast September 19, 2026 Duration: 11:46

In 2016, Alrick Hollingsworth opened fire at a crowded Seattle bus stop at 3rd and Pine, wounding five people. Despite prosecutors demanding 15 years, King County Superior Court Judge Averil Rothrock handed down a lenient sentence so he could "improve himself." Less than seven months after walking out of prison, Hollingsworth is back behind bars—charged with shooting a man in the neck in Federal Way in front of children and caught by Bellevue police carrying a loaded, chambered .45-caliber handgun. In this episode, we break down the bodycam footage, the failure of Washington’s revolving-door justice system, and why activist judges on the bench face zero accountability while putting innocent lives at risk.
