By Ian Stewart, Your Alaska Link - Mar 16, 2023 Updated Mar 16, 2023 One group of concerned citizens in Anchorage is one of many around Alaska protesting Supreme Court Order No. 1993. It’s a move many, like Todd Lindley, think it’s the court overstepping its power. “The grand jury should be a place where a citizen could go and get justice.

On April 19th 2023 over 54 people joined a rally outside the Nesbett courthouse. Alaska's state constitution guarantees the right of the Alaska Grand Jurors to investigate in instances where the judicial system fails. SCO 1993 interrupts or is attempting to interrupt this right.
