Appeals

After months of backtracking in its prosecutions of the Alaska corruption cases, the Justice Department said Friday that former House Speaker Pete Kott received a proper trial in 2007 and his conviction on bribery, extortion and conspiracy charges should stand.

Kott's attorney asked for dismissal of charges because prosecutors failed to turn over favorable evidence before Kott's trial. The district court was responsible for this case.(Mauer,2009)
