Witts File Formal Complaints Against Deputy

The Witts have filed two complaints against Colbert County Sheriff's Deputy Jamie Klaska. Both Terry and Resa Witt spoke with Chief Deputy James A. Heffernan, Jamie Klaska's immediate superior, and lodged the two complaints based on state law. 

What happens now? Either Heffernan or Sheriff Frank Williamson will forward the complaints to the Colbert County district attorney's office which will then present the case to the grand jury. Aside: This is why important criminal cases take so long to be prosecuted.

So, no, Lt. Chief Deputy Jamie Klaska has not been arrested. We sincerely doubt that he will be indicted, but if he is we doubt that there would be a conviction in such a case. 

Resa Witt has also hinted at federal charges, even going so far as to mention prison time. We eagerly await her interview with a federal prosecutor on the matter...

Perceptions! It's easy to jump to conclusions, isn't it? When we attempted to retrieve a photo of Jamie Klaska from his Facebook page, we found a photo of an animal skin rug being used as his cover icon:

Many men on Facebook post pics of dead bodies in various states, but seeing this rug didn't make us think more of the deputy. Then we continued to look for a photograph of Klaska himself. We didn't find one, but we did find this in a album:

Ah, yes, quite an attractive rug, isn't he (or she)? Our opinion of the deputy rose greatly!
