On June 29, 2022, a Kenai grand jury, by majority vote, voted to investigate evidence of public corruption within Alaska’s judicial system. Deputy Attorney General John Skidmore; Judge Jennifer Wells; Presiding Judge William Morse; attorney Marla Greenstein (who investigated all 8000 Alaska judge complaints in the last 33 years); District Attorney Scot Leaders; Alaska Department of Law; Alaska Commission on Judicial Conduct; Alaska Department of Public Safety; Alaska Bar Association; and Alaska Governor’s office would be investigated.
Prior to witnesses being sworn or evidence presented, Judge Wells ordered the grand jury to stop investigating and permanently dismissed the grand jurors from duty. Jury Tampering is a class “C” felony (AS 11.56.590) and Interference with Official Proceedings is a class “B” felony (AS 11.56.510). Jurors never got to see or hear anything; not even direct evidence that judge investigator Greenstein is falsifying official investigations to keep corrupt judges on the bench – or see proof there is an ongoing cover up.
This makes six grand juries in the past four years that have been stopped by the same officials or entities that the grand juries were in the process of investigating for corruption.
Article 1, Section 8 of Alaska’s constitution states: “The power of grand juries to investigate and make recommendations concerning the public welfare or safety shall never be suspended.”
Comments by the 55 delegates who wrote Alaska’s Constitution confirm that grand juries (made up of normal citizens like you) are the public’s independent oversight of government officials and agencies: “The grand jury is preserved, for all purposes, particularly for investigation of public officials. The power of grand juries to inquire into the willful misconduct in office of public officers, and to find indictments in connection therewith, shall never be suspended. The grand jury can be appealed to directly, which is an invaluable right to the citizen.”
The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly unanimously passed a resolution protesting the above unconstitutional suspension of grand jury investigations. KPBA’s legal department investigated and found that up to the early 1990’s grand jury investigations were common but then stopped – meaning there has been no independent oversight of any Alaskan official or agency for 30 years.
The Kenai City Council, Homer City Council, Funny River Community Association Board, and Nikiski Community Council also unanimously passed resolutions and/or letters protesting.
Alaskan citizens claim: (1) that grand jury investigations are their only independent oversight of government officials or agencies; (2) that this oversight has been corruptly stopped for over 30 years; (3) that this lack of oversight has led to widespread corruption involving the PFD, justice system, oil prices, elections, OCS, etc.; and (4) that no effective redress has occurred despite Alaska’s courts, Attorney General, and Governor being made aware of the problem years ago.
Citing the continuing lack of response to this major constitutional crisis and the felony crimes being committed by government officials to cover up, a group of concerned Alaskans propose a sit-in at the Kenai Courthouse until the grand jury that was unconstitutionally suspended is called back and completes a thorough and public (TV, radio, and online coverage) investigation complete with recommendations and criminal indictments – with the grand jury given funds to pay for independent legal counsel and investigators to assist.
All wishing to join any sit-in should email haeg@alaska.net or text David Haeg at (907) 398-6403.
Everyone should also contact Governor Dunleavy, Attorney General Treg Taylor, and their legislators to let them know the dismissed grand jury must be recalled and allowed to investigate.
