additional commentary by Rep. Timothy Horrigan, (former) member of the House Redress Committee
See Also:
In this video, petitioner Jeff Frost
tells his tale of woe to Rep. Kevin Avard. Frost was
acquitted but he still has many grievances. Basically, he feels
that he shouldn't have been prosecuted in the first place. And,
understandably, he is hoping to get his legal fees paid by the
state. The redress committee voted 7-3 (I was one of the 3 no
votes) to award him those fees.
He had to wait till 2013 for any actual legislative
action. And even then a joint resolution went
nowhere. Neither Mr. Frost nor his attorneys testified
before the House Judiciary Committee in favor of HJR 2; nor did they do
any lobbying.
