Capital Journal Coverage of Bosworth Trial. And are Bosworth’s parents footing the bill for rooms?

@SoDakCampaigns

The Pierre Capital Journal has a good synopsis of yesterday’s Bosworth trial coverage, and hits the high points (without you having to sit through the hours-long cross examination:

It wasn’t his job as a notary public to review the contents of each petition or each voter signature, but merely to attest that Bosworth’s own signature actually was hers and that he witnessed it, Arends said.

 But at one point Bosworth showed him a petition, he said. “Dr. Bosworth asked me, ‘Can I sign this?’ I said ‘No, you can’t, because you didn’t circulate it.’”

Bosworth told a radio talk show host last year she thought because the signature collection was done under her direction, she was the circulator even though she didn’t witness every signature. It’s one of the mistakes she made as a rookie candidate, Hanna told the jury. The bigger mistake was relying on Arends’ touted expertise on petitions, Hanna said.

But Arends said he saw Bosworth demonstrate impressive knowledge of petition-gathering rules at a Lincoln Day dinner for Republicans in Pierre in February 2014. As early as January 2014, Bosworth was able to explain the rule that the person collecting signatures has to witness each signature, under South Dakota law, Arends said.

Supporters for Bosworth in court Thursday include some from Iowa and a Chicago cabdriver.

“She’s a ‘super tremendo’, fantastic leader,” said Fred London, who said he took time off from driving a taxi in Chicago to attend the trial Thursday and Friday. He learned about Bosworth from radio talk shows, London said.

“She’s everything a person could want in a U.S. Senator.”

When asked if anyone from Bosworth’s camp was paying his expenses, London, who said he’s staying at the Super 8 motel, referred questions to Bosworth’s parents.

So, we learned that the prosecution and the defense disagree. And that Bosworth’s parents might be footing the bill at the Super 8 for those easily swayed by what they hear on the radio or internet broadcasts.

  1. Is this entertainment? Give the lady some probation and stay out of her personal life. My goodness!!!

    1. No, it’s not. It’s just another exhibition of Jesus being used as a manipulation tool, which seems to be SOP is SoD. You have a dark streak, Ms. Beal. It’s displayed often and makes me cringe.

      1. Well said Mr Lansing. There is nothing entertaining about anything of this dysfunctional mess.
