(1,213 posts)11. not about Palin,but it is about her successor who has enabled assault in the national guard as well
Sean Parnell and pals are probably the ones who went after Palin so much that she quit. He worked for Exxon against the people of Alaska. He then worked for Conoco Phillips as lobbyist. Then he snuck in under Palin and got the governorship by default. The state has been going bankrupt ever since and he and cronies, two who openly work for Conoco Phillips, just gave tax cuts to oil companies costing the state 2 Billion per year.
He took office and started a campaign "choose respect" to stop the record number of assaults in Alaska.
However, what he has done is quite the opposite.
He covered up national guard assaults for years, even leading to the murder of one victim. He gave a medal to one of the perpetrators.
He came to Homer to talk about the assault, he knows about this, and probably made sure this corruptable judge was on the case.
Worse than that, one officer was a coach, must have not given all the evidence. The police didn't even arrest these guys until a month after the assault and they had all of the evidence a day afterward. But, it was the middle of an important playoff season.
After this, the football team got new turf and the police are getting a new station to cost 25 million.

It reads as a technical issue of law and the prosecutor can represent to the GJ again
