Highway Patrol finds lost video evidence sought for lawsuit
May 12, 2021 GMT
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) The Montana Highway Patrol says it has found lost dashcam footage of a 2017 crash that is the subject of an ongoing lawsuit against the agency by a driver who said a trooper forced him off the road, injuring him and damaging his truck.
Mitchel Burgess, a high school principal from Wyoming, sued the agency in 2019 for damages related to the incident, when he said the trooper pulled an illegal U-turn in front of his oncoming truck, forcing him to drive into a ditch at 70 mph (113 kph).
A District Court judge Monday grilled a state attorney representing the Legislature on Republican lawmakers chosen methods of pursuing their concerns with the judicial branch.
Montana Supreme Court Justice Jim Rice was the only justice last month to file a court challenge against a legislative subpoena seeking his communications regarding any polling conducted on pending legislation. The other six justices put a halt to the subpoenas for their own communications, telling the legislative committee formed by Republican lawmakers that they did not participate in any such polling conducted by the Montana Judges Association. Republican lawmakers remained skeptical after the Supreme Court administrator conceded she deleted the results of one of the email polls.
