The report ruled there was "insufficient evidence" for several claims, or that her actions did not violate Seattle Police Department policy.
"The Executive again expresses disappointment in Best’s refusal to sit for an interview on this matter of public concern as it prevented a full assessment of the propriety of her actions during an important moment in the history of Seattle. Here, the investigator determined this assertion was a "misleading account of what had occurred" Refuting the claim that it was "too hot" to reach either victim. Going further to state that former Best’s comments that summer regarding those specific moments were not "factually accurate."
However, investigators claimed because former Best’s decided not to participate in the investigation, that no conclusive determination could be made and that it ultimately remains unclear "what information she relied upon when making the statement."It was further determined that "the investigator again had insufficient evidence to determine whether the statement was knowingly and intentionally false.
