More on Wisconsin's USA Biskupic and Georgia Thompson
Last week I gave my analysis of the wrongfully convicted Georgia Thompson and what may have motivated Wisconsin U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic.
Adam Cohen writes about the case in the New York Times today, raising new questions about Mr. Biskupic's handling of the case.
One of the biggest weaknesses in the case against Ms. Thompson was that to commit the crime she was charged with she had to have tried to gain personally from the contract, and there’s no credible evidence that she did. So Mr. Biskupic made the creative argument that she gained by obtaining “political advantage for her superiors” and that in pleasing them she “enhanced job security for herself.” Those motivations, of course, may well describe why Mr. Biskupic prosecuted Ms. Thompson.
Should Mr. Biskupic resign? Can the citizens of Wisconsin have confidence in his ability to impartially judge the facts and make appropriate decisions about who to prosecute after the Georgia Thompson debacle?
