- Blunt listens to arguments
- Mike Hoffman, the attorney for Sandy Blunt, the former director of North Dakota’s Workforce Safety and Insurance agency, uses an auction-sale analogy to describe how prosecutors handled a case against Blunt for allegedly misspending agency money
- Hoffman says the misspending allegations against Blunt changed as the case progressed
- Justice Mary Muehlen Maring says it “would have been a completely different situation” if the allegations against Blunt had not been lumped into a single felony charge. Hoffman says that should not have happened
- Hoffman says it was wrong to lump the misspending allegations together
- Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle and Hoffman discuss the prosecution’s decision to bring a single felony charge against Blunt that covered a number of misspending allegations
- Prosecutor Cynthia Feland and Justice Mary Muehlen Maring discuss the prosecution’s decision to charge Blunt with a single felony crime of misspending public money, rather than several separate counts that would have detailed each misspending allegation
- Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle says the Blunt prosecution’s only objective was to prove $10,000 worth of instances of alleged misspending, which was the minimum needed to charge Blunt with a Class B felony
- Feland says a $15,000 firefighting safety grant that was excluded from the evidence against Blunt was not necessary to convict him
- Feland says allegations of misspending against Blunt were lumped together into a single criminal charge because it reflected how the Workforce Safety and Insurance agency did business
