I have just finished reading the affidavit of Judge Thomas L. Kay, available  at: www.weitzelcharts.com.
      I believe that the prosecutors in the Dr. Robert Weitzel case have now gone way too far. After reading the affidavit recently released by Judge Kay, one sees that these lawyers have lied repeatedly about events during the trial just to try to get rid of an honest and unbiased judge.
      Of most interest to me is how they complained that Judge Kay told a (city) prosecutor that the revelation of the authoritative judgments of Dr. Perry Fine would "blow the state's case out of the water."
      Davis County Attorney Melvin Wilson claimed in a sworn affidavit that Kay had said this in public before the release of his decision on the matter in January of 2001. In fact this was a private conversation between the judge and a lawyer.
      The state's lawyers are dishonest. They were told by their own key expert witness, Brad Hare, that Dr. Fine was the much better qualified expert, and they then paid Fine to review the medical records. The state went on to use the (now discredited) Hare to get Weitzel convicted. Then when the judge finds out about it and their misconduct is punished, they tell lies about what happened in court. I find this very offensive.
      All of the prosecutors are now the subject of an ethics violation complaint due to their earlier misconduct. With these latest acts of downright perjury, they should resign or be forced from office.
