Weber County Officials tainting would-be Jurors
Interestingly the state shut down donations for the Matthew Stewart website. Does anybody know why? I'm curious because there hasn't been any news report of why the state will not let them accept donations for legal assistance. I see nothing illegal about asking for and accepting donations for legal assistance. After all, he's in an uphill battle with an entity that has all kinds of money and could face the death penalty if he loses the case! Then the Weber County Sheriff's office releases a video to honor the officers if the Weber Narcotics Strike Force which will potentially taint the jury pool. It sounds like the only way Matthew Stewart can get a fair trial is to be tried in another state.
I'm still researching the situation; but I'm guessing it has something to do with this:
Utah Division of Consumer Protection - Charitable Contributions
