Agree that Soto is not an academic. Grace hands out D.Min. degrees to anyone they like. Soto stole the academic work product of a seminary colleague (Ph.D. from Dallas Seminary) about a dozen years ago and taught it in class after the colleague said not to. I won't name the colleague, but people there know at least part of the story. Soto and the administration ran the Ph.D. out of the school because he never fit in and wouldn't let his work be stolen.

My husband has a BA in Bible and MATS from Grace and never took a Soto class because Soto was so arrogant. My husband then went on to get a fully-funded Ph.D. from Notre Dame and is now a tenured university professor. He's also never been arrested.

I would hardly call Soto an academic. He holds a Doctorate in Ministry (D.Min.) degree. Those are a dime-a-dozen.

Special Prosecutor Chipman was one of the 29 candidates for Indiana Supreme Court. See the Feb. 18 summary of his interview on this blog. His father was a Court of Appeals Judge for awhile, resigned from the Indiana COA position and then went back and became a Marshall Superior Court Judge for awhile.

They're both Republicans.

Are the Sheriff and Prosecutor(s) of opposing "political stripes"?

I was under the impression that AB was more active in state penitentiaries not local jails, especially in a smallish community like Warsaw.

The fact that this case alleges the Aryan Brotherhood corrupted a local law enforcement official leaves me all the more shaking my head that they weren't leading the prosecution of this case. The county prosecutor fully understood the feds had a better arsenal of laws for prosecuting these kinds of crimes at their disposal. It makes me wonder whether the feds believe something is amiss with this investigation.

...and the other message is that the Aryan brotherhood has a lot of money to throw around and knows how to use intimidation as a tool. Something tells me the feds are watching this one closely.

So the message here is that Indiana Sheriff's are NOT going to get away with running a fiefdom in their respective counties as was customary as recently as the 1980's. Hear that message Sheriff Layton?

You have to wonder how much of this goes on elsewhere. I payoff here a payoff there, or some VIP Pulling the Strings. By the way I wish the Police would dump the Frisbee Hats.
