Alaska Drops 11 Voter Cases Against American Samoans After Court Ruling
x/alaskan

The move affects 11 Whittier residents previously charged, with authorities citing flaws in the grand jury process and a state trooper’s questioning as part of the reason to concede there is insufficient proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
