How can you trust any arrest, prosecution or conviction in (Insert name of County)? You can't, can you?
According to the
statement from the county attorney’s office, new evidence had “come
to light demonstrating a lack of probable cause that the defendant
committed this charged crime.” The county attorney’s office
specifically cited a statement, given by the alleged victim to local
law enforcement, that no sexual assault or attempt to hold the victim
against her will took place and that the bruises on her legs were not
caused by Kennedy. Charges against Spicer man are dismissed due to
new evidence. By Tribune News (West-Central Tribune) on Aug 15, 2014

This appears to be a surprising development in a case (Case No. 34-CR-14-430 - Note: No expungement there, is there?) that I used as a comparison case for Principal Peterson, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it?
According to the
complaint, the 19-year-old victim reported the assault to Willmar
Police early on Monday morning at Rice Memorial Hospital. The woman
told officers that she had met Kennedy at a Willmar motel and that he
had asked her to go to his room. The woman believed Kennedy was
intoxicated and said she repeatedly told him “no” and pushed away
his advances before he sexually assaulted her. She also told officers
that she attempted to leave the room more than 10 times before
Kennedy allowed her to leave the room. … Kennedy was apprehended
later that same day and refused to speak with investigators. Spicer
man charged with sex, imprisonment charges for weekend assault By
Gretchen Schlosser. West-Central Tribune. May 28, 2014 at 12:17 a.m.
Apparently, the 100% conviction rate for alleged sex crimes is taking a serious hit in multiple counties, isn't it? It is, isn't it?
Sounds like attaching the Principal Peterson case to any case in the area will result in a dismissal, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it? Must be why I am going to save Peterson's case here before the inevitable cover-up . . .aka expungement, right?

Maybe people should start asking Principal Peterson if he has a history of expunging records, hmmm?
Where is the copy of Michael Rengel, Esq.'s (Representing the Morris School District) request for records & withdrawal of request for records for Principal Craig Jon Peterson In Case No. 75-CR-13-351? Well, that "needs" to be expunged for this cover-up to work, doesn't it? That is the "smoking gun" which shows that the Morris School board had inside information on Principal Peterson's rigged case, doesn't it? It does, doesn't it?
Ooops! What happened in Cottage Grove Principal Peterson?
Inquiring minds want to know, don't they? They do, don't they?
Lest we forget, right? Peterson Complaint!
More to come . . .
