Page 1 of release from State’s Attorney Don Knapp. More documents should be coming, this summary doesn’t state why $450,000 was agreed to. It also doesn’t say if Butler agreed to jail time.
See the entire document here:
Good job, Diane. If not for you….
Too bad the letter didn’t mention the great work Diane Benjamin did to expose this travesty.
Thanks. Wait for Renner to take credit.
Tari ALREADY did, that’s what he was dancing about!
Next he’ll take credit for Space-X and leave Rivian to Koos.
What Tari sees is $450k in “free” money to spend on his pet projects. And, on the one hand, he will take credit for saving money for taxpayers, while saying nothing of the months and years he ignored (and provided cover fire for) the suspicious and unusual activity with Collesium management. Tari would have rather lost more taxpayer money than admit that Diane might have been right. On another note, you have to wonder how much Tari and Fails (er, Hales) pushed the State for a plea deal. Could you imagine either of them testifying in open court under oath?
I wanted to!
