UMGriz75 said:What is interesting is that Kirsten would be one of the logical people to go to in doing a news article on any of this.
She handled these kinds of cases for years, has an excellent track record of aggressive prosecutions, can hardly be said to be part of any "old boys club," and would be one of the very few people with genuine knowledge of how these cases are handled, how UM's were handled relative to others, and yet .... the Missoulian never bothered?
Florio goes to the director of the YWCA, ostensibly out of the blue, to add hearsay to allegations of a "testosterone soaked universe," but won't -- underscore won't -- go and talk to a genuine professional at the heart of the reporting and prosecuting system?
That's journalism?
It's probably also worth noting Pabst's role in the First Step Sexual Assault Resource Center, the Montana Sexual Offender Treatment Association, the Missoula Family Violence Council, and numerous organizations focused on child abuse and domestic abuse. I believe Pabst was one of the original collaborators of First Step.
