Dismissal of charges a bunch of hooey

| December 9, 2010 11:05 AM

I am pretty mad about an article I read a month or so ago about Roland Hall’s poaching charges being dismissed.

What is up with this? In the article I read it said that charges were dismissed because the arresting official didn’t read hum his Miranda rights.

What a bunch of crap. Both he and his partner young Dennis Liermann were caught red handed shooting then dressing out two bull elk by an eye witness who watch the whole process.

Now Dennis went to court just a couple months after the offense took place. He got nailed somewhat with two misdemeanors, downgraded from felonies. He received two days jail, two years probation and a fine of $3,495.

Now when Roland Hall goes to court over a year later and low and behold his charges get dismissed. That is the B.S. part of this. Hall gets nothing, nada, zilch, zip, but there he was the only one of them that could hire a lawyer to lie for him and get him off.

Why didn’t he do the same for Liermann? Hall obviously has much more to lose and more money to spend so he doesn’t lose it.

A prominent business man in our community blatantly breaks the law, knowing full well what he was doing was felonious, and he got away with it.

People wonder why I don’t hunt anymore. The law lets “hunters” like this who have weapons, out in the forest shooting whatever they want, whenever they want.
