When Parenting Goes Off the Rails: A Lacey Family Drama Unfolds

In a case that could easily become a movie plot, a Lacey couple faced serious criminal charges after an altercation with their teenage daughter outside Timberline High School. Ihsan Ali and Zahrra Ali were initially accused of attempting murder, but when the dust settled, the jury found them not guilty of that severe charge. So, what were they convicted of? Zahrra is guilty of violating a protection order, while Ihsan was found guilty of assault and unlawful imprisonment. Talk about a family drama gone wrong!
