Overview

• Judge Michael Schwartz ordered 30 days of electronic home monitoring, one year of community custody, and 240 hours of community service, with monitoring to begin within two weeks.
• Kemp pleaded guilty in May to second-degree assault for firing at a Toyota 4Runner in a 2023 mall parking lot incident where two vehicles were hit and no one was injured.
• The court labeled the outcome an exceptional sentence, departing from the state’s typical three to nine months of jail for this offense.
• Prosecutors disputed Kemp’s self-defense claim, played surveillance and witness videos and a 911 call in court, and said he created risk by discarding his gun and not alerting officers immediately.
• Defense argued Kemp tracked stolen property to the mall and returned fire after being shot at; police later found the SUV with an empty holster but no gun, and supporters including Marshawn Lynch attended the hearing.
