Yamhill DA to probe claims of bias in Joey Gibson prosecution March 10 2021 Lawyers for Patriot Prayer leader requested investigation after judge tossed out attempt to end a criminal case. The Yamhill County District Attorney's Office will investigate allegations of "bias and profiling" in the prosecution of a local right-wing protest organizer. After a federal judge ruled last month that the criminal case against Joey Gibson can proceed, lawyers for the Patriot Prayer leader and his associate filed complaints of selective prosecution against Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt. "The Yamhill County District Attorney's Office has agreed to review your allegations of violation of MCDA Policy by members of this office," Multnomah DA's chief assistant, Jeffrey A. Howes, said in a March 8 email. "Yamhill County District Attorney Brad Berry will oversee the investigation."
