I have talked with a number of attorneys about assault cases. One thing they say is very helpful no matter what side they are representing. A police report could either hinder or help the person accused of the assault. It is a critical thing that an attorney would like to have in an assault case.
Now in the school board and Art Johnston issue the police where not called and there is not a report nor at this point is there any medical recorders that are at least public. If there was an assault on two people why where the police not called? Well the attorneys I talked to knew nothing about this about this case they gave me a general answers as to why this maybe the case. There where a few different things that could be case here they said.
One would be that the school board has the right to investigate this with in. They have the right to not call the police and do an investigation with an out side law firm. That the attorneys still said a police report would have been helpful in gathering the facts of the case, and what went on. In a public place where this assault was to have happen they feel the police should have been called by some one.
I asked them was the ball dropped by both sides, their response was yes. They thought was if a real assault did take place the police should have contacted the police, on the other side of the coin if there was not an assault a police report could stop the non-sense of an investigation or court case. The lawyers where keen on a police report either way if there where to represent in a case.
I have been waiting for more information on this but have not gotten back yet, if I will post a part two. I am not holding my breath to hear back however as I asked questions of the administration and it seems that they don't want to say boo on this issue.
