THE PREVARICATING PROSECUTOR III, NO. 7: PROSECUTORS MISLEAD JURY IN QUESTIONING WITNESSES
State's Attorney Richard Riha |
Assistant State's Attorney Cynthia Feland |
Assistant State's Attorney Lloyd Suhr |
While having full knowledge that there was evidence to the contrary (as had already been extensively established), Burleigh County State's Attorneys Suhr and Feland still continued to forcefully present deceptive opening and closing statements that the Spencer issues were criminal and even questioned witnesses Jason Wahl, Cammie O’Conner, James Long, Jodi Bjornson, and Billi Peltz to establish and perpetrate this ruse. These repeated, knowingly-disingenuous actions undoubtedly mislead the judge and jury to believe that clearly-known, non-criminal offenses were criminal – in short, they lied to the Judge, jury, and citizens of North Dakota in order to secure a guilty verdict against Sandy Blunt.
