By ATTORNEY GENERAL TREG TAYLOR
The Rest of the Story…
Two recent columns by a progressive activist, associated with the California Innocence Project, grossly misrepresent not only the prosecution of former Ketchikan Police Chief Walls but the integrity and role of the Department of Law. The author’s narrative omits critical facts and paints a picture of misconduct that simply doesn’t align with the evidence or the process that unfolded.
Here’s what actually happened:
The witnesses’ testimony during the grand jury is clear – Chief Walls was dining with his wife and another patron, a tourist, bumped into their chairs twice during the course of the evening. After the second time and as the tourist walked away, Chief Walls “thr[e]w his barstool back” and “t[oo]k off on a dead sprint” across a restaurant, and slammed the tourist from behind, headfirst into a rock wall. He then “jump[ed] on top of him” and placed the man “in a UFC type chokehold” as “the guy was bleeding” from his head. The chokehold was so severe it took two employees to pull Walls off the tourist. At no point did Walls, who was off duty, identify himself as law enforcement or issue a single verbal command, like “Stop, police, you’re under arrest.” That was not policing—it was violence.
We recognize that Chief Walls had a long career and a history of service. But past accomplishments do not excuse present misconduct. Upholding the law means applying it equally, even when it’s uncomfortable. Public trust in our justice system depends on prosecutors and law enforcement holding ourselves to the same standards we expect from everyone else.
The article’s author leans heavily on a memo written by a paid expert hired by Walls’ own defense attorney. That’s not an independent analysis, it’s a piece of a legal defense that Walls could have presented at trial. He chose not to. Instead, he accepted a settlement. The idea that prosecutors hid or ignored that memo is false; it simply never entered the courtroom because Walls avoided one. The author also uses other cases, such as Thomas Jack Jr., as support for his narrative but fails to disclose that Jack Jr. was unanimously found guilty of repeatedly sexually abusing his preteen foster daughter by a jury of his peers in his own community.
The Department of Law does not have the authority to investigate criminal cases. This case was referred to our department by law enforcement officers who investigated the incident and believed the use of force was excessive. That’s how the process works. We reviewed the evidence provided by law enforcement and followed the facts.
As for the grand jury process: three grand juries were held because of procedural rulings by a judge, not because of any misconduct. In each case, the court asked that additional information or clarification be provided. The author claims that this back-and-forth between the prosecutor, defense attorney, and a judge proves bad faith or corruption. It actually shows something quite different: a system that works – with checks and balances, where a judge decides areas of genuine disagreement between the parties. Ultimately, a misdemeanor assault charge was allowed to proceed, and that’s the charge the prosecutor pursued. Such a charge was found to be lawful and appropriate.
The credibility of law enforcement is the foundation of our justice system. We are proud of what our department has accomplished with the help of law enforcement agencies around the state. Crime rates are hovering around 40-year lows, and violent crime is down almost five percent. In 2024 alone, the department successfully prosecuted 223 drug crimes and our law enforcement partners seized 99,853 grams of fentanyl off our streets. That work matters, and it only carries weight if the public trusts that we apply the law fairly.
When someone in uniform or authority abuses their power, that conduct must be addressed. The rule of law doesn’t work unless it applies to all of us. We took this case seriously, because that’s what the public deserves.
Treg Taylor has served as Alaska’s Attorney General since 2021, following two years as Deputy Attorney General overseeing the Department of Law’s Civil Division. In that time, he has guided the state’s legal work to defend Alaska’s sovereignty, protect public safety, and preserve the freedoms and opportunities that define life in the Last Frontier.
Thank you Attorney General for your commentary. It helps set the record straight.
Really? Attorney General Taylor writes: “past accomplishments do not excuse present misconduct”.
So, I wonder why Taylor allows a lawyer to continue unquestioned and unencumbered with state employment in the Department of Law who writes in emails of his mental health diagnoses and related difficulties that align perfectly with the $17,000.00 in damage that he caused during his tenancy at a Juneau rental property? The attorney writes that his $1,700.00 deposit is all he owes!
Attorney General Taylor is well aware of this particular lawyer and his myriad problems. He has allowed the attorney’s “past accomplishments to excuse his present and extremely outrageous misconduct”. Taylors lack of action speaks much louder than his words in this article.
Expose all the dirty lawyers and judges. Only way to fix anything!!
Then why did you sack the Chief of Police in Ketchikan?🤔
“Sack”?
The Ketchikan chief of police was put into a sack?
Enough with these damned creeping britishisms already! The word you are looking for is “FIRED”.
Thank you for the rest of the information, Treg.
I’m not buying your line of garbage Treg. If you were truly doing your job to uphold the state constitution and rule of law then why haven’t you aggressively pursued the clear violation of grand jury rights until (sort of) presently? Could it be that the judicial system is rigged and you’re a part of it? If so, better call the United States Marshals and confess before it is too late.
Hope we hear the same words when the 2 Kenai troopers go to trial.
Your “version” of the story AG Taylor, is far more detailed, as if you were there. It sounds like defense, not a report. I’m concerned about it because Ketchikans Legislative Representative told a much different story. Never confuse use of force continuum withe the “rule of law”. It sounds too much like Bob Ferguson.
What a perfect opportunity for a Grand Jury to investigate.! Maybe even indict!?
Thank you for this article. It is good to hear the other side. Both of the articles written seemed very one sided to me, and some of the statements seemed quite outlandish. Particularly the insinuation that AG Taylor may have gotten rid of the Chief of Police because he has seized so much fentanyl! They most certainly did not describe my experience with AG Taylor, whom I have known for many years. Is he perfect? No, he himself will tell you that. What bothered me the most was the articles were written in Must Read without much investigation into the facts.
Judy,
Let’s not ignore the facts, I agree.
It’s a fact that a man, ( a real man, not a limp wristed AG named Taylor) will defend his loved ones and Family, at all costs.
Respectfully Mr. AG, please don’t run for Governor. You still have a role to play in Alaska governance, but not as Governor.
“The rule of law doesn’t work unless it applies to all of us.”
Well, that is a most interesting comment coming from you Treg Taylor. Why is the rule of law not applying to those in high level positions that I reported to you and Governor Dunleavy in person in August of 2022? To this day, I’ve never received an answer from you or anyone else regarding my very specific request for the law that allows unqualified individuals who were illegally gifted senior level management Classified State positions the ability to keep those positions for ANY length of time. Please cite that law Treg.
We all continue to wait…
So a drunk tourist got his a// kicked. Big whoop.
Throwing the BS flag here.
AS 44.23.020 (a) The attorney general is the legal advisor of the governor and other state officers. (b) The attorney shall (1) defend the constitution of the State of Alaska and the Constitution of the United States of America…. 1982 WL 43801 (Alaska A.G.) The attorney general’s client is the state and his first allegiance is to the public interest. Cool!
Past accomplishment do not excuse past misconduct as was the case of Judge Cummings. Deputy AG Svobodny June 2011 intervened on behalf of the public interest and filed a complaint with the Alaska Commission on Judicial Conduct. Judge was removed.
Canon 3 (2)(b) “A judge shall faithfully follow the laws.” Do all judicial officers have bonds per AS 22.20.430 and SCO 10? June 18, 2025 Chief Assistant AG Birnbaum’s letter states, “The Department does not have the requested records.”
Chief Justice Bolger, Justices Winfree, Maassen and Carney wrote to Fellow Alaskans a few years ago “…We recognize that too often African-Americans, Alaska Natives, and other people of color are not treated with the same dignity and respect as…and we recognize as community members, lawyers, and especially as judicial officers, we must do more to change this reality…” ‘https://courts.alaska.gov/media/docs/sc-2020-stmt.pdf
Because judicial officers, lawyers, commissioners, and other public officials, etc., are required to take an Oath of Office, be licensed in the State to practice law, have to follow Alaska Professional Conduct rules, canons, i.el, faithfully follow the laws, uphold the constitutions, etc., are held to a much higher standard than the public.
The reality for Thomas Jack Jr., is this – He wouldn’t take the state’s “deal” of plead guilty and two years in prison and then probation because he said he was innocent. Mr. Jack’s reality is he’s serving 50 years with 10 suspended, yet the State’s “deal” was 2 years and probation if he plead guilty. Mr. Jack’s attorney of two days wasn’t competent, he couldn’t be ready, but the state was. Did Mr. Jack really get a fair trial? He needs a fair trial where he has a competent attorney that is prepared and ready to defend him. Also, Mr. Jack’s tribe wrote a resolution requesting his release.
Mr. Wall was doing a great job getting drugs off the streets. I’ve seen it once to often a police officer leaves town because he/she doesn’t go along to get along. Not only do police officers get run out of town, doctors, nurses, or others just get up with or without a settlement or “hush money” and move out of the State. It’s not easy to serve on a grand jury but it is our duty to do so if one does not have a conflict of interest or a bias against the individual(s). August 18th AG Taylor will be in Kenai at a town hall meeting talking about the grand jury, SCO 1993, etc. What happened to the grand jury in Kenai? What is happening with the grand jury today? Why did AG Taylor and Chief Justice Winfree write SCO 1993? Oxereok v. State (May 2, 1980) sets out the procedure to “Convening of the Grand Jury.”
There is not equal protection of the laws. Just ask AK Mom about their reality and what happened to her and her 5 children. August 25th starts a federal trial against the State, Commissioner Crum and other state employees involved with OCS.
Three legal citizens file a Petition for Redress of Grievances. How can the wrongs that have and are happening be made right? We need checks and balances within our State government.
There is much need for equal protection of the laws, legal citizens getting due process, a fair trial, etc. Alaskans need an amendment to Article IV Sections 8 and 10. Alaskans need to elect an attorney general. Alaskans need to elect a sheriff. Alaskans need judicial reform.
What can a Governor do for Alaskans to ensure the laws are faithfully followed by all judges and our constitutional rights are protected? Know your constitutions. Memorize and know what Article III Sections 1 and 16 requires of a Governor regarding the responsibility of the faithful execution of the laws.
AG Taylor thank you for this article.
Thank you Betty Jo for your informative reply. It looks as if we have a lot of clean up or clean OUT to do in this state.
Quote. “Public trust in our justice system depends on prosecutors and law enforcement holding ourselves to the same standards we expect from everyone else.”
Well that’s a dandy! Why did Deputy AG Skidmore and Judge Wells get a pass on the felony accounts of tampering with a witness and obstruction of justice when they stopped foremans in the GJ room from investigating crimes?
Why do you still allow public officials to remain unbonded? You and other officials have been personally notified numerous times of this requirement
Why did you allow your Dept of Law to collude with our Supreme Court Justices to rewrite a state statute that was passed eons ago, by legislation thru (the unconstitutional) SCO 1993 that deliberately muddled the active GJ that indicted Judge Murphy for perjury? You know, the GJ that was deliberately seated only 12 jurors and to have one those needed 12 jurors, go missing on you, during the middle of it’s hearings?
By the way, when ARE you going to get GJ Report on systemic judicial corruption from Judge Matthews secret lock box? What in the world could be in that report that our Constitutional right to see it could be SUSPENDED by the State?
We want it!
Our State is a mess run by pathological liars. You can fool some folks. But you ain’t fooling all of us.
Mr. Taylor, This is Sharon Walls. I find it interesting that you start your “article” by saying that Mr. Ignell is a “progressive”, I think we can make that lie #1. I don’t think our current president would feel that questioning prosecutors and lawfare as a progressive thought.
Next, have you listened to the audio from your trooper, I seriously doubt it or you wouldn’t have written 90% of what you did about what transpired that evening.
This is why THREE grand jury indictments were dismissed, lastly, WITH PREJUDICE.
I have the audio from the trooper and my own audio from that evening and can prove you sir are lying, please feel free to call me so we can listen together.
I would also like to know why you are not abiding by federal guidelines on Brady/Giglio. Your own office sent out an MOA in 2021 as a direct consequence of Stacy V Alaska, involving the same trooper, who also has a conviction in the State of Missouri. The judge in this case ruled that his testimony was substantially false and inaccurate.
Your prosecutors threatened to charge me should I testify before the grand jury but would not say why, please tell us all since you have decided to finally discuss this. I have been working on a podcast, let’s chat. I would love you to hear the recordings I have so that maybe you can have the opportunity to see the errors from your office and be a bigger man who admits wrongdoing.
Or, perhaps allow the AK investigative grand jury to function properly and investigate this matter.
There’s also the option of having the DOJ take a look around but that’s not your call, I hear there have been talks. I will say that I am surprised that you took this upon yourself and did not leave it up to your henchman, Skidmore. Or maybe Massey Consulting but make sure you use the right funds if you pay them for those services. The only one here above the law is YOU! You have made certain of that with your new reporting initiative, you are the gatekeeper of your own complaints. You continue to slander our name and yet you have NO conviction of anything. Every single charge has been dismissed WITH PREJUDICE, completely exohonerated, so why are you maligning us AGAIN! I am completely surprised that you responded to these articles, must have struck a nerve. I know you tried everything you could to get that feather in your cap with a conviction but no one likes a cheater. The evil you wished upon us is coming back on you. We have the truth and God on our side. I pray for you and forgive you. I am serious about chatting and the podcast.
Sharon Walls
Multiplied blessings to you Mrs. Walls and your courgeous and obviously loving husband. As a life long Alaskan, thank you both for your service to our community and the State of Alaska. Without knowing the full story, I believe your case (and I’m so sorry you had to go through this) and the light that is being shed as a result will have a positive and righteous impact on our state for us now and for generations to come. What we all do is not just for us now, but for also for our children (whether biological or nieces and nephews or children of friends) and our children’s children that we may never know or meet. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Walls once again.
Thank you ma’am and blessings for you. My family is blessed and the light is beginning to shine on the truth. False witnesses and liars will be caught and punished. Vengeance is God’s and far worse than the accountability I am praying for.
Mrs. Walls,
Thank you for your comments here and last night. I was present last night and also spoke to Treg Taylor.
It is evident that Treg Taylor and the Supreme Court had no involvement in writing SCO 1993.
In 2022, three citizens approached judges in three different judicial districts, requesting an opportunity to present evidence of judicial corruption to their local grand juries: Thomas Garber, David Ignell, and David Haeg.
Fearing the consequences of grand juries the Supreme Court called upon the government’s “Fixer,” John Skidmore, to create a solution to control the people’s right. Upon reviewing the public documents concerning the process, it becomes clear that the Supreme Court sought a swift response to their apprehension about grand juries. Without thorough scrutiny, they hastily approved Skidmore’s process and prevented two of the citizens from approaching grand juries. Only David Haeg managed to reach a grand jury before SCO 1993. However, the so-called “independent prosecutor” was Clinton Campion. Interestingly, when researching his past experiences in Alaska’s Department of Law, it is revealed that he is friends with John Skidmore.
As with all skilled attorneys, they develop an escape clause in all legal procedures, intended to be used when necessary. Consequently, only 11 grand jurors were involved in the final investigative report, which is insufficient.
Since my initial encounter with John Skidmore in March 2018 (when I was serving on a grand jury) until today, he has consistently been the common thread of corruption.
It is plausible that John Skidmore will eventually become Attorney General, possibly after Treg Taylor becomes Governor. The “Fixer” would then hold the most powerful position in the government.
Mr. Southwell,
I heard you as well, along with every other person speaking last night about their persecutions by the corrupt judiciary in AK. I think we may agree Mr. Taylor doesn’t write much at all on his own. His words in the article are direct rhetoric from Skidmore. Also, oddly enough I called him a “gatekeeper” in my comment yesterday and he parroted that moniker multiple times last night at the town hall. I may go back and count the amount of times!
I also believe that we agree largely on Skidmore but I don’t foresee him as an AG, snakes prefer slinking and striking from the underbrush. Staying alive means staying out of the spotlight.
Mr. Taylor kept trying to drive home the point that he’s accountable for NOTHING, everything was the fault of others. He said that a singular case is not sufficient for a GJ investigation. How many corruption or RICO cases start with a SINGULAR case and unravel a grand conspiracy? I think ALL of them do, but then who gave him the authority to even make the determination of what the qualifiers are. I have specifically told him that there’s evidence of wrongdoing in what he did to my family, his response was absolute denial of possibility. He refuses to even listen to the evidence because his office is 100% right ALL the time. They NEVER get anything wrong. What a messiah complex. To think this is the “Grim Reaper”, sorry “Gatekeeper” of justice in your state. God help you all, seriously.
I pray for you all.
Sharon Walls
Let’s all sit back and let the facts unfold only IF we all support the Grand Justy position of being able to do it job.
Treg is lying through his teeth, and he knows he is openly and overly trying to tramp the Grand Jury process. Our governor is being awfully silent in all this. Our governor could take a position, but he will not touch this with a ten-foot pole. The Govenor knows fully that Treg is in way over his head on the Walls Case. The Walls case is the bottom of all of this and AST is in the glue……
So, everyone tune tonight at 6:00PM to the zoom
Treg Taylor always lies to keep his head above water and not drown. Early on he said he had to look up the facts as he sees them. So, the material facts change with every interpretation of what is a fact. Treg Taylor knows the “common man” won’t make up stories but see only one way to explain anything. Treg Taylor has another skill set not perceived here and puts it to use with different explanation. Will the “common man” argue with him or cave? Treg Taylor lies all the time. Why do you think Dunleavy hired him? It wasn’t because he is honest, he isn’t. Its because his job and potential future money requires it, Wake up, Alaska! We have had lousy management from the law department for as long as we have people like Treg Taylor convolute the facts and work hard to make you believe it!
August 18 (6 pm) Grand Jury Town Hall with Attorney General Treg Taylor will also be on Zoom
In addition to in-person at Borough Assembly chambers (144 N. Binkley St., Soldotna) KPB Mayor Peter Micciche stated that the above Grand Jury Town Hall meeting (where citizens can ask questions about government/Grand Jury corruption) can be attend via Zoom:

You start out by writing David Ignell is a progressive activist associated with the California Innocence Project, and that is intentional to discredit him, but you somehow omit David is was born and raised in Juneau into a deeply Christian and conservative family and is a defender of those who have been treated unjustly. I would rather be in a dark alley with David Ignell or Chief Wall than with you, Mr. Running for Governor.
Celeste,
I thank you for your comment above. I first met David when he and my younger brother were in the second grade at Harborview School.
I knew David’s mother Ramona, and his father, Elmer very well. Both were committed to helping people in the Juneau area from about 1952 until their passing in the 20 teens. David’s parents service was a labor of love. Ramona, amongst other things founded a sort of half way house for women, newly released from prison to get settled and begin a new start.
David is in his own way carrying forward the tradition learned from his parents.
Oh, BTW, the AG claims Thomas Jack was found guilty by a jury of his peers? Huh, I seem to recall his trial was in Juneau, not Hoonah. How can he make that claim? Hmm…
Celeste and Robert,
Thank you for your kind words about my parents. My website, ‘www.poweredbyjustice.com is dedicated to their memory. My book on the Alaska Grand Jury can be downloaded free of charge on that site. The site also contains significant information on the wrongful conviction of Mr. Jack, including some of the exculpatory evidence that the Juneau prosecutors withheld from the grand jury.
It was indeed interesting how our Attorney General associated the label “progressive activist” with “California” in the same sentence to try to discredit me while appealing to his political base. My father’s favorite President by far was Ronald Reagan, who like me, was connected to California. Some of President Reagan’s famous quotes were “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” and “We the people tell the government what to do. It doesn’t tell us.”
I’m honored to be able to follow in the footsteps of my parents and President Reagan.
Mr. Walls chose not to go to trial. There is no reason to hold one here now.
Thank you, AG Taylor, for “the rest of the story”, and I hope the storylines end here.
Reggie,
Sometimes folks choose not to go to trial because they realize the system isn’t fair and the deck is stacked against them. I believe this was the case with Mr. Walls but only he can answer that question. I for one would have done the same thing if placed in his position. Please read the two columns that led up to Treg’s defensive rebuttal column and weigh the evidence impartially as possible in your mind. Also, if time permits, do some research pertaining to some of the comments on this thread about the legal requirements for bonding (certain officials are required to have it in and corporation and the state of AK is incorporated).
“…….Sometimes folks choose not to go to trial because they realize the system isn’t fair and the deck is stacked against them………”
I’m not a spring chicken. Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve paid hundreds of thousands of my family’s dollars on lawyers, and I’ve been through a few trials. I didn’t bring them up in a public forum, and had somebody else done so, I might be back in a courtroom yet again…………and I’m no fan of lawyers.
I repeat my statement:
“Mr. Walls chose not to go to trial. There is no reason to hold one here now.”
I understand your point of view and stand corrected Reggie.
Well that’s a mighty gripping story there, Treg. I wouldn’t have guessed you’re an MRAK reader but since you are, tell us more about your relationship with notorious scam artist Dmitry Kudryn:
https://mustreadalaska.com/is-alaskas-attorney-general-stealth-campaigning-for-governor-a-look-at-his-recent-events-raises-questions
Can that goof even vote?
And on the topic of serial scam artists, please also tell the class why your office declined to prosecute Garrett Elder after he’d fleeced over a hundred Alaskans out of more than $30 million in a long-running Ponzi scheme which the State’s own Division of Banking and Securities and Suzanne so thoroughly documented:
https://mustreadalaska.com/tag/garrett-elder
Hey, are you running for Governor, Treg?
And people think Alaska doesn’t have snakes.
😂
Mr. Taylor, you say Thomas Jack, an Alaska Native, was tried by a “jury of his peers in his own community.” You are contending his jury was convened in Hoonah, Alaska and included a reasonable number of Alaska Natives? I’ve heard it said the trial was in Juneau and the number of Alaska Natives was 0.
Why have you not brought to justice those who kidnapped Mary Fulp Mr. State Attorney General Craig Taylor? Because you Sir are a feckless coward. A ‘lickspittle’ and a self serving grifter. How dare you of all people speak of the ‘rule of law’. Shame on you.
There are many things you could talk about, Treg. Walls is not amongst them.
Be that as it may, why is it that you have so many detractors? Why is there a clear and current connection between you and a dirtbag named Dmitry Kudryn?
More importantly, why did you purposefully fail Alaskans as a whole when you were handed the Tycoon Trading case on a silver platter but opted not to do anything about it? Remember, that didn’t close until November roughly 21 months ago. You still have time to file against that POS and give him the time he deserves for intentionally stealing roughly $30mm from 130 hard working Alaskan families. The Fed thought six years was fine which is an embarrassment to all but apparently the Fed. They say that crime doesn’t pay but when the Fed said that six years seemed reasonable for stealing $30mm they were telling us crime does pay; $5mm a year, apparently.
Disgraced judge Josh raised it to 8.5 years (net) and that sends the wrong message for certain. None of the victims will ever be repaid and none have been well served by the justice system… that would be you, Treg. Do the job you’ve been hired to do and make this right in a fashion similar to what one of your more responsible predecessors did in the Ray Jean Bonham case. Financial crime destroys families and you are responsible for making us if not whole, at least satisfied that the penalty is reasonable. Man up, Treg. Stop focusing on stupid stuff like bar fights. Alaska needs you and you’ve been asleep at the switch.
“……There are many things you could talk about, Treg. Walls is not amongst them………”
Let’s be observant and plain here. AG Taylor clearly wouldn’t have written this column had David Ignell not brought this up in a previous column of his own condemning the AG, and if the AG wasn’t beginning a campaign for governor and felt the need to defend himself publicly.
In my opinion, the more accurate, reasonable, and fair of the two columns is the AG’s. But more interesting and revealing with both are the comments. They don’t bode well for our society.
Reggie, you may want to re-read my article again. It’s purpose is to get the attention of US Attorney Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel and give them an overview of just how bad the situation is in Alaska. Not only in the AG’s office but also with the judiciary. Taylor’s actions and/or inactions speak for themselves.
I’ve tried for years to get Dunleavy and his Attorney Generals to do something about the corruption here. They’ve refused and in the Walls case we have the evidence to show that Taylor is part of the problem. He’s in charge of the DOL and his name is on the pleadings. Enough said.
I tried to get Biden to do something about our corruption, but he wouldn’t either. Through whistleblowers like Tyler Vose, we’re all learning that the federal corruption in Alaska has been just as bad as in the big swamp. I feel that with President Trump in office and with his hirings of Bondi and Patel, we may finally have a real chance to crumble the injustice and corruption that permeates our state.
“……. It’s purpose is to get the attention of US Attorney Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel and give them an overview of just how bad the situation is in Alaska……..”
I don’t believe that for a second. I believe it was negative political campaigning. AG Taylor has announced a run for governor, and out of your hole you emerge. If you wanted to attack state corruption with federal help, you’d address the proper federal agency directly, not write a media column. I wasn’t born yesterday, and I’ve personally contacted the U.S. Office of Special Counsel myself over corruption.
If Mr. Walls felt that he was wronged, he shouldn’t have settled. And since he did, the issue is over legally. But politically? It’s just more mud, isn’t it?
Come clean on the Mary Fulp kidnapping Mr. Taylor. Out with it!
Treg should be investigated for malfeasance re Ketchikan police chief case.
I’m afraid what we have here is failure to communicate:
We The People are not asking judicial branch to tell us how to reach Grand Jury, we asking our civil servants to stay out of People’s way of reaching people Grand Jury.
Nothing more.
Mr. Taylor,
My name is Yvette Jack DeBlois, I’m the oldest sister of Thomas Jack Jr. who was arrested, thrown in jail by the Alaska state because they could. That Mr. Taylor is the truth. The investigation was a farse, the trials violated his civil rights, and you lied when you said he was tried by a jury of his peers. As for David Ignell, he is NOT progressive, this characterization is a disgusting attempt by you to discredit him to this audience. He is an honest man that has been working tirelessly for 7 years or more to convince the officials at the state of Alaska to reverse their egregious actions. It was not a mistake, the attitude of the prosecutor and the judge were flippant. I really hope that you do not continue to have a future in any part of the Alaska government, as you are not a credit to this state. Mr. Ignell has a website where documentation for my brother’s case demonstrate the miscarriage of justice against my brother. Justice is NOT EQUAL IN ALASKA!!
