Would someone tell me I'm right?? Please??

Read it for yourself online. Wyoming Supreme Court Docket #S-11-0152 where longshanks files an appeal in an attempt to overturn the decision of District Court Judge Fenn in reversing the firing of Deputy Kenneth Cook. Once you read it, including the appeal to the Wyoming Supreme Court through the Laramie County Attorney, you can make your own determination as to the level of stupidity involved. Ms. Hackl is not to blame. She is doing her job, distasteful at times as it is.

Quoting Judge Fenn that
"findings by Sheriff glick (small g is by Ddg) regarding each violation were against the substantial evidence elicited during the hearing."
"The sheriff does not give a clear reason for finding petitioner in violation of this policy......."

Judge Fenn notes that the testimony of Lieutenant Gesell during the hearing did not support the paperwork she filed for the termination of Deputy Cook. Captain Hillegas merely rubber stamped Gesell's findings. We've been told by people that know that this is not a surprise to anyone who works at the department and knows "Sounds Good To Me."

Then longshanks agrees with his staff (how could he not) in terminating Deputy Cook, after obviously not listening to the evidence presented with an open mind although he was in attendance for the hearing. Kind of like longshanks already had his small, closed mind made up before the hearing. Not much of a surprise there, folks.

So now glick's firing will cost the taxpayers of Laramie County (that's you folks) the wages of Deputy Cook since the time that he was wrongly fired. This is along with other damages have yet to be determined and awarded by the court once Judge Fenn's ruling is upheld.

Does this mean that Deputy Ringrose's related firing will also be appealed and overturned? Of course Deputy Ringrose's case was decided in Laramie County District Court by Judge Peter (Having my opinion overturned is just something I live with because it happens so often) Arnold.

Local judge, local sheriff, loco results!
