They probably didn't need one.
I mean, it doesn't sound like it was very effective as positions go.
And also the other thing I said, they need to call the sheriff.
I saw someone intimate that the sheriff may not have either taken Ken McElroy and the trouble he caused seriously, or he may have been a friend or a sympathetic ally or something to Ken McElroy because apparently he was not super responsive to Ken McElroy trouble calls.
You know, he was interviewed in this documentary.
He certainly didn't seem sympathetic.
He might have been intimidated as well.
Yeah, I guess that's possible.
I wouldn't blame him, frankly.
So this takes more than a year or I'm sorry, close to a year to come to trial because of all the delays that, you know, McFadden, that's his game.
Finally, it does.
And there is another green like almost everyone in this story seems like they were like very young at the time.
Yeah.
The prosecutor's name was David Baird.
He was a super young attorney.
He was the county prosecutor.
So named just a few months earlier.
And all of a sudden, this kid is charged with prosecuting the case.
He convicted him of second degree assault and sentenced him to two years in jail.
