I also asked if APD could comment on the David Josiah Lawson investigation.
Arcata Police Department Chief Tom Chapman responded promptly:
"I can confirm a police report was filed on January 16 and the reporting person subsequently followed up with us over the weekend. I cannot comment on who they have identified as their attacker(s).
As to your other inquiry about fingerprinting people, we cannot share details of the investigative steps we may be taking."

Interesting. Also disappointing, but I understand why there's a tight leash. Thanks for the follow-up, Chiv! I know when anything goes public we will hear it from you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. We all want the truth and justice in this case, except those throwing smoke and mirrors impeding the justice process by staying silent and making this a circus.
DeleteI should clarify by either staying silent or making this a circus, for their selfish agenda.
ReplyDeleteWith your coverage of the recent Kitchen arraignment (thanks again--riveting reading!) we can see that what might appear to be Justice Delayed is actually Justice Cautiously Applied.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if in both case the LEOs are being patient and waiting for the people they're monitoring to make a mistake or show their hand in other ways.
