Unable to help McGuckin reclaim her property and regain custody of her children, largely because she apparently chose to cooperate with the same state that stole those things from her, our activities and international scrutiny did prompt county officials to more carefully proceed against this woman, her children and her property. Because the county was under such a microscope, it could not be so arrogant about the process it used to ruin the lives of what remains of the McGuckin family.
As we exposed in the July edition o against McGuckin job function email list as if she were a mental case though publicly he called it a criminal prosecution. This most recent development is not really a change of heart so much as an admission that all this time McGuckin has been treated as if she were a mental case, Robinson simply didn't want people to know that the state had such unbridled power to move in and destroy a family.
Rex Prewitt, 42, was asleep on his couch at approximately 10:30 on the cold and snowy night of January 25, 1999 when he was awakened by his barking dogs, opened the door to see what was amiss only to be peppersprayed by Bonner County Sheriff's Deputy Eric Skinner, and shot through the hand and shoulder by Bonner County Sheriff's Deputy Bill Tilson. The deputies allegedly considered Prewitt to be a suspect in a vandalism in nearby Sandpoint and took it upon themselves to sneak up on the Prewitt residence. The evidence shows that the deputies then planted Prewitt's unloaded handgun at the scene and claimed that their bad shooting was in self defense. Prewitt was sentenced June 6, 1999, by Judge James Michaud to serve 7-10 years in prison for assault on a police officer.
