Gee, seems like such a mystery - I wonder who could have possibly had the motivation, the means and the opportunity to order underlings to falsify gun training records for a reserve deputy who served as the Sheriff's 2012 campaign manager and who had donated thousands of $'s to his campaign?
Better bring in Sherlock Holmes, Columbo, Hercule Poirot, Sam Spade and Nancy Drew to get to the bottom of this one!
BTW, I would typically be in a position to at least praise the 3 people in the Dept who took transfers rather than sign off on the phony paperwork, but thinking about it - they are likewise guilty of obstructing justice in that they did not take this information to the DA. (They received an illegal order and only took steps to engage in some CYA, but did NOTHING to protect the public.) If they had any real integrity, the three of them would have at a minimum taken what was going on and brought it to the attention of the relevant law enforcement officials in the state.
It certainly sounds like this reserve deputy who did the shooting isn't the only one who needs to be charged with a criminal act!
