[Peace-discuss] Brian Chesley's case

[Brian Dolinar]

Julia did not enter BC's police reports into discovery until June 12, 2007.
The incident occurred March 30.
Why did it take 10 weeks to produce the reports?
What does Rietz have to hide?
The public and the press used to be able to read these police reports
but in Jan 2006 Rietz no longer allowed it.
Now we have to FOIA the docs after the case is over - which should be May 9.

And still the police can't get their story straight as to what happened
March 30.
