FastCast morning digital headlines for Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024.ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Nineteen years ago, an illegal hunting case involving shooting wolves from an aircraft, among other offenses, began a highly unusual campaign by some Alaskans to expose alleged judicial corruption.
The defendant in that case, David Haeg, has since co-founded the Alaska Grand Juror’s Association which has staged protests against various entities of Alaska’s judicial branch for what they allege is statewide corruption. The grand jury’s investigation into Murphy’s alleged perjury was led by an independent prosecutor based on Haeg’s allegations of corruption.
Murphy also argued that the prosecutor gave the grand jury the wrong instructions regarding the proper standard of evidence because they were not given instructions for a criminal indictment. Her defense also states that the indictment fails a legal test that requires the court to set aside inadmissible evidence.
The state’s prosecutor argued that the jurors were experienced and understood the criminal instructions for the indictment even though they weren’t given those instructions, according to Matthew’s dismissal.
