The Wisconsin State Journal’s and Dee Hall’s Removal of the Reference to the Justice Crooks Conflict
Dee Hall requested from Atty. Sommers a response about the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision on the Sommers/ Raisbeck matter that was issued on March 30, 2012. Attachment #17 is the email in which Atty. Sommers gave his response. One can see that he requested the following statement be included in its entirety in Dee Hall’s story. His requested statement is as follows:
“Our Supreme Court is shameless beyond characterization. After all this time, this was the best they could do? And of course, Justice Crooks’ blatant conflict of interest is dared not mentioned a single time. For reasons that the Supreme Court knows, their decision is my legal demise. Luckily for Raisbeck and a few others, I overcame Kangaroo Courts. I could not overcome my own. However, our bitterly partisan Supreme Court has proved that they could unite against a common enemy, me. The honor of the Wisconsin Courts has been upheld.”
Attachment #18 is the article authored by Dee Hall that ran in the Wisconsin State Journal on-line on March 30, 2012 and in the paper on March 31, 2012. The following is Dee Hall’s rendition of Sommers’ statement:
“Our Supreme Court is shameless beyond characterization. After all this time, this was the best they could do? For reasons that the Supreme Court knows, their decision is my legal demise. Luckily for Raisbeck and a few others, I overcame kangaroo courts. I could not overcome my own. However, our bitterly partisan Supreme Court has proved that they could unite against a common enemy: me.”
A comparison shows Dee Hall removed the reference to Justice Crooks’ conflict of interest.
