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?

Really?
The bulk of the articles were written while she was still in the County Attorneys office. She couldn't have commented if she wanted to. Coming out now sounds like she is trying to justify/defend her self in an investigation of her former office. Not saying that's the case just that its what it sounds like, might be why its down.

Kirsten left the County Attorney's office the third week of February, nearly six weeks before the AD and Coach were fired.tnt said:The bulk of the articles were written while she was still in the County Attorneys office.

But as far as inaccurate statements, I believe you made the same claim when I mention shortly after the firings that there would be a DOJ investigation with a very broad scope in addition to a DOE investigation with the NCAA bringing up the rear. This was also at the same time you were telling me what an idiot I was for thinking that that the most that could happen was an agreement to pay off the contracts. In fact according to you it was going to be in the 7 figures because of a case essentially involving commissioned sales people who were replaced (a common tactic when they actually make their commisions and the employer has to pay up.) Oh I might also point out you teeth almost popped out when I said Foley was also going with other high ranking administrators. You have never grasped the concept that it isn't about the players and never has been. I also was jumped on by stating that Kristen had some stake in this and would come out with something after she was out of the office for a while. I thought for a while it was related to her testifying at a Honor committee hearing, apparently its broader. (I'm beginning to wonder if it wasn't her decision to not pursue the earlier cases and is wondering how they may stand up to review, but that's a different matter)
The more amazing thing is you are still holding to some thread of of a belief, this is no big thing. Its a very big thing. If anyone sounds like blithering old man in a a nursing home wearing a bib to catch his drool its you. Your inside info has proven time and time again to be departmental scuttlebutt and far short from what is really happening and has happened.
