  1. Can’t this guy talk about anything else??… Ravnsborg, Russell and quite frankly Seiler are talking about issues…and he keeps talking about an HONOR FOR HIM to be AG….

  3. Pat, of course there are no notes/context…all he can talk about are the trials he has done…..poorest run campaign of the entire cycle.

    1. I’m just saying they sent me the video… and that was it. I have nothing against Fitz, but I hope that’s not how he would run in the fall.

  4. I know. I would be like a county sheriff running for election and just talking about the shoot outs he’s been in, the tough arrest, the trials he testified in, the work he did in securing a good chain of custody for evidence.

    I want to hear stuff like growing a garden-Ravnsberg speech. Who cares about people being prosecuted for misconduct EB-5, Gearup, Auquaponics, besides Noem? Get real and bring me another serving of milk toast.

  5. The garden speech of Jason’s was not good or well received. Why are we talking about tomatoes, when our state is facing a drug problem. Can anyone else see this is not right?

    1. Well from what I have seen Ravnsborg is talking about the most specifics of how to address the drug problem…

      I haven’t heard ANYTHING from Fitzgerald except a full repeal of SB70 which is never going to happen

  6. Can we get another candidate into this race? It would be awesome to win in November.

    1. Why does the same Anonymous person get on her about another candidate. You are a hater, you have three choices.

      Russell: Questionable ethics, running for 3 offices, and was fired last fall

      Fitzgerald: 250 cases with 48% conviction rate, that is 130 cases he lost. I believe a 48% gets a F in school. No Leadership or management skills

      Ravsnborg : Accomplish lawayer (prosecutor and defense, well rounded), leadership, management, etc

  7. I was wondering how much all those trials cost his county…

    Figuring roughly $10,000 to go to trial that is roughly $2,500,000…I should move there and get the public defender contract there.

    I get it that you have to take some to trial….but from everyone I have talked to they all say he is unreasonable and hard to get along with so he takes everything to trial…not exactly what I want in an attorney general.

      1. That;s 6.75 trials per year…one every month and a half or so…however you want to figure the math on that for expense I will leave to real number-cruncher’s. But if you follow the logic of the talkback, those are the numbers for 1 county. Now we spread that state-wide (66 counties), knowing that some have more crime and some have less, let’s be conservative and assume that the average for a Fitzgerald pro-prosecution AG’s office is 4 jury trials per county statewide per year of his term…that is 66 (counties) x 4 (jury trials) x 4 (years in AG’s term) = 1,056 trials, at a cost of $10,000 per we have $10,560,000 in extra expense to the taxpayer…

  8. If Ravnsberg gets it we should have, “everyone gets a misdemeanor day.” It will be just one day a year, or two days a year, to save money.

    1. Plus, you do realize you can have trials for misdemeanors too? I wish we had a trial expert in the race…oh…

  10. If somone is murdered do we plea bargain because it costs $4,000 and a life is not worth that amount.

    1. I don’t think anyone is saying that but the word is he takes lots of things to trial that don’t need to go to trial because he’s hard to get along with.

  11. Victims want justice you are obviously not an attorney and fortunately you have never been a victim of a crime. Pass the tomatoes please.

    1. Wow another candidate would be strong at the convention if this is what we are all talking about.

  12. SB70 was a really good piece of legislation. Fitzgerald is so far off on this. I think Lance is nuts and Ravnsborg is borderline competent but this approach from Fitzgerald is flat wrong. Incarcerating low level drug users is inefficient and doesn’t reduce recidivism. He is the type of old, “tough on crime” prosecutor that thinks it’s more important to win than rehabilitate people. No one wants murderers on the streets but if you have 3 ounces of weed, taxpayers lose when people like fitz want to pay to encarcerate them. Neither the state nor the counties can afford it.

  13. I work at KBFS-AM 1450/KYDT-FM 103.1 in Belle Fourche where this was filmed! That’s my studio back there where his wife is sitting 😀 Man… Our sweet wall carpet actually looks better on film than I thought it would… Awesome website and great discussions. I read your articles often. Thanks for everything you guys do to inform people!
