 Leiweke, 50, bolted from Paul Allen's Vulcan Sports conglomerate to accept the minority owner and chief executive role with the Lightning.

Leiweke assumed several executive posts as the top executive of Allen's sports empire, serving as the CEO for both the Seahawks (NFL) and Sounders (MLS).

Considered as an instrumental figure for the purchase and consistent rise of the Sounders in the MLS, Leiweke was not hesitant in sharing his insights for the good of the franchise.

He created a harmonious partnership with Sounders GM Adrian Hanauer and majority owner Joe Roth. The partnership was a factor in the team's successful US Cup championship campaign last season.

Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said he will surely miss Leiweke both as a friend and a great executive in the club's front-office.

"He is somebody who has been tremendous for our organization, especially Aaron Curry the way he has treated the Sounders and the whole Seahawks and Sounders organization," Schmid told reporters Monday. "The respect that was given to the Sounders right from the beginning, that comes from the top.

Leiweke was seen as the man behind the firing of coach Jim Mora Jr. and subsequent hiring of former USC coach Pete Carroll.

City Prosecutor Lynn Moberly said repeated attempts to contact the woman had been unsuccessful. Moreover, Moberly said Issaquah police officers noticed the woman's car in Hill's driveway in the months after the incident.

The prosecutor said the continued contact — despite a court order for Hill and the woman to remain apart — raised "significant concerns" about the case.

In May, Stewart kept a no-contact order in place between Hill and the woman, although she had called for the order to be lifted.

During a July 21 hearing, Moberly said she "put the defense on notice" for the woman's "failure to respond to me, to the police department, to numerous phone calls to her home, to her mother's home, to her workplace, visits by the police department to her workplace." The woman had ignored subpoenas as well.

The city issued a warrant for the woman to appear in court as a witness Deion Branch during the trial.
