THE PREVARICATING PROSECUTOR III, NO. 12: PROSECUTOR TURNS NO FINDING INTO CRIME WITHOUT REVIEW!

Once Berry Dunn McNeil & Parker’s (BDMP) 2008 Performance Evaluation of Workforce Safety and Insurance (WSI) was released publicly on October 8, 2008, it contained NO finding of illegality regarding the Firefighter’s Association grant. Instead, it clearly stated “BDMP’s evaluation did not include a legal review … This issue may warrant a legal evaluation to determine if any law, rules or regulations were violated.” Yet, even with the lack of any investigation, Feland --with the help of her partners at NDSAO-- made the grant a crime.

 

Even more startling, Burleigh County Assistant State’s Attorney Feland charged the grant against Blunt almost 18 months after the charges were originally filed --even though this item was clearly NEVER part of the 2006 Performance as claimed by Feland to the Judge Romanick. The reality is, this uninvestigated issue was released to the public just 27 days before Feland stood in front of a Judge in a Court of Law and promised him that it was part of her original April 18, 2006, case from the “get-go.”

 

Amazingly, like nearly all of her case, the firefighter’s grant was never even signed by Sandy Blunt. Even more fittingly for this complex and seemingly malicious prosecution, Blunt was on administrative leave from the original charges filed against him when the grant was signed and the funds in question were released. Yes, you did read it correctly, Feland had the audacity to criminally charge Blunt for funds that were legally executed and released not by Blunt and when Blunt was not even working at WSI.

 

So who signed the contract? The contract was legally and legitimately executed by John Halvorson, Acting CEO, and Anne Green, a SPECIAL ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL! So not only does Feland lie to the Judge to get the issue into the case, but she charges Blunt with a crime that was supposedly committed while he was on a well-documented and official leave from the agency!
