Background on the foreclosure and eviction of the Kinney family from the Red House on N Mississippi Ave in Portland: #portland #redhouse
The Kinneys legal troubles began in 2002 when William Kinney III, 17, ran a stop sign on SE 33rd Av and Franklin St at 45 to 60 mph, colliding with another car and resulting in the death of Fred Goetz, 74. William was driving with a suspended license. nwlaborpress.org/klare/030102.h…
William Kinney was charged with manslaughter and assault. He eventually pleaded guilty, served time and his license was revoked for life, which will become important later. badlawyernyc.blogspot.com/2010/09/contem…
