Clash Between Prosecutor and Police Over Golden Case Deepens
Prosecutor Scott and Police Chief Delaney clash after a superior court jury failed to convict Joe Golden of theft. Golden, twice acquitted recently, insists he is innocent and blames four state witnesses. Scott authorized the sheriff to release Golden and four other witnesses promised immunity, while Delaney seeks more evidence. Golden’s attorney Walter Fulton says his client may sue for false arrest and damages from the alleged police pressure. The case involved jewelry and money stolen from Ed Wallquest at 1115 Pike Street. Sheriff Cudihee ordered Golden released.
