I’ve gotten some feedback recently that some readers actually like to read the source documents, rather than summaries of them.

That approach certainly eliminates most of the bias. In the long-standing case filed when former Deputy Sheriff Zane Seipler was running against Sheriff Keith Nygren in the 2010 primary election, everything seems to hinge on what McHenry County State’s Attorney says in his upcoming deposition.

Will Lou Bianchi be “available” to prosecute Nygren or not?

That’s the question I perceive that Judge Thomas Meyer wants to know.

Bianchi has long held to this campaign pledge to bring as much defense of the Sheriff’s Department in-house as possible.

He contends that if he prosecuted Nygren for anything, all of the Sheriff’s defense work would have to be contracted out, costing the taxpayers a lot more money than if the work were done by assistant state’s attorneys.

While we wait for the results of the Bianchi deposition, Seipler’s attorney, Blake Horwitz has filed a motion seeking sanctions against Nygren for his intervention in the suit.

It was filed eight days ago on November 22nd and was up in Court today.

Horwitz argues that Nygren has no right to have a say in a potential criminal prosecution of himself and for that reason all of the motions to dismiss by his attorney Mark Gummerson are “a nullity.”

He touches other issues as well, as you can see below.
