“Essentially, what we did was we viewed it as we would any other case,” said Duluth Assistant City Attorney Cary Schmies, who prosecuted the case. “We felt with the high test levels, the gross misdemeanor conviction was most appropriate. Oftentimes, people who have lower test levels or have other reasons for test refusal, we’d offer a misdemeanor. In this case, the test levels were so high that wasn’t an option. … But justice is supposed to be blind. “I couldn’t see making him the poster boy for DWI when we wouldn’t do the same to anybody else under similar circumstances.” Carlton County attorney pleads guilty to DWI – Thom Pertler gets one-year stayed sentence, probation for London Road traffic stop.

Use Of Term "Trained Observer" And Video Of Attorney Describing Third Degree Felony Assault Force Duluth Attorney & Special Prosecutor Shawn Reed To Invoke His Right To Remain Silent? Is It Because Any Further Comment Could And Would Be Used Against Him In A Court Of Law?

Did you know that cops, doctors and prosecutors are all trained observers? Shawn Reed, Duluth attorney & special prosecutor realized that he can't play dumb about the felony assault if he is a trained observer, can he?


If the trained observers (So-called Duluth cops) took Anthony Jackson to the hospital emergency room for stitches, then it gets harder for trained observer Reed (So-called prosecutor) to claim that felony substantial harm doesn't exist, right? The only way a trained observer would miss that would be intentional, right?

Jouppi is accused of striking Anthony Jackson, 50, multiple times after Jackson first struck him.
