In just a few day since forming, Topekans for Justice has already attracted the attention of hundreds of Topekans on both sides of the issue.
For those who weren’t already aware of the Judd case they are learning what happened on Tuesday March 18th, 2008.
For many of those who are well aware of this incident, many are learning of the twists and turns regarding the case. For example, the Topeka Capital Journal reported that off duty police officer Jason Judd did not take a blood test to determine his alcohol level until sometime between 9am – 12pm. A time span of possibly 9 hours after the altercation took place. For anyone who understands metabolism, it seems an awfully long time to wait to correctly determine Judd’s alcohol level from the night before.
Another twist came when Johnson County DA’s special prosecutor Cindi Carle decided the Topeka DA’s office did not have probable cause to prosecute Jason Judd and company. This decision being announced despite the fact that Judd and company confessed to have been partying and drinking according to police reports, trespassed on another’s property and shot his neighbors.
Through our blog we have been contacted by numerous individuals who are outraged that this is not going to trial. Some feel that had this been an average Topeka citizen, we would not have had the same type of treatment. Many are ready to act to ensure that the public’s trust is restored with our law enforcement and our District Attorney’s office. This is a highly volatile case which could explode causing bigger headaches for Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, Johnson County Special Prosecutor Cindi Carle, Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller and many more in Topeka. The community is demanding this case go to trial in order for Judd to be tried by a jury of his peers and avoid the resemblance of preferential treatment
Stay tuned on a regular basis. We will be sharing the most up-to-date information that we find for you to make up your mind on this case.
