Standard-Examiner: County Agrees to Pay for Matthew Stewart's Defense

Bringing veteran defense attorney Bernie Allen aboard the Stewart defense team even at this early stage of the proceedings proves to have been a very savvy move

Significant interim victory in the Matthew Stewart Shootemup case, folks, as the Standard Examiner reports this morning that Weber County prosecutors have stipulated to put the County on the hook to help cover defense costs for Matthew Stewart, including "fees for a mitigation expert, investigator, ballistics experts and psychiatric evaluations," at a cost to the county which "could reach six figures":
No doubt about it, bringing veteran defense attorney Bernie Allen aboard the Stewart defense team even at this early stage of the proceedings proves to have been a very savvy move.

Perhaps the kid will get a fair trial after all.

Obama's Road Less Traveled includes Utah: The title of a front page article in today's SLT discussing President Obama not visiting Utah during his tenure thus far. Particularly interesting were Rep. Jason Chaffetze comments. Wow given his and other Utah politicos well trumpeted despise of the the President why would he?  True there are many of us who would welcome a visit but given his struggle to be re-elected, I don't blame him a bit for not spending time in the state of Zion.  Maybe he will in his second term.

Perhaps at some point he will visit to see what the state of Utah is doing with all of the federal money they hate which is coming to Utah
