Unfortunately, at this time no one apparently knows the full range of the impact nor its full scope. That was brought out again during the Farm Bureau panel discussion last tion case is multi-facete- d over-and-ov- er Tuesday. One thing which was brought out during the discussion was the confusion the case has fostered in the population of the Basin. This confusion is not only but among the among the Indian population as well. Lester Chapoose, Tribal Business Committee chairman, said, the tribe has not looked at all the ramifications of the decision yet. But then the decision hasn't been finalized yet either. The full range of judicial relief has yet to be exhausted, not that it is likely to change the decision. Right now the judicial avenues open to either side are .from1 the to seek another Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver and then seek a review of the case by the U.S. Supreme Court. We don't see either of the judicial alternatives as being viable. The appeals court has already heard the case twice. The latest decision was the result of a 'en banc' All in its of the judges entirity). (meaning of the Tenth Circuit Court sat together and heard the arguements, then reviewed the case and came up with their decision. Four of the judges thought the tribe's arguements were the most judically sound and three favored the arguements raised by the State and counties. The State is once more asking for yet another and a stay of mandate. When this is denied, as we think it will, the next step is the Supreme non-India- ns, . ng re-hear- ng Court. The Supreme Court has given enough case law in this particular area, such as tv1eSOlem'VersusBanieTr case7 to' make11 their review of this one case an outside possibility. The Solem case- was the primary reason for the appeals court granting the application last . It had similarities to this spring. many case, enough to make it too similar to allow them the opportunity to review - ng ' ours. Of the three times this case has been argued, Judge Jenkins, in District Court, decided in favor of the Tribe and the appeals court has decided in their recent decision in favor of the Tribe. Only once in the three decisions has the State and counties views been upheld, and that decision was overturned by the entire appeals court this year. The tribe has been unwilling or unable to negotiate an agreement with the State of Utah on several items. For example, the Ute Compact, concerning The tribe has been unwiling or unable to negotiate an agreement with the STate of Utah on several things.

All chargee against my client were dlnmlfd on the prosecutors own motion after he had presented, in the first of four scheduled trials, the testimony of one of foe girls to a jury of foe echoed teachers peers. The ten year old girl testified that foe teacher had patted her oh foe bottom or hip about five times after she had performed well in dare. She also stated the teacher rubbed her back sometimes, also 1 - -- . when she has performed well. When the prosecutor dismissed foe. case, he explained to the judge that foe conduct described by foe girl did not constitute a crime. The judge agreed, and stated that the prosecutor cer-- . tainly had no choice because the girls statements did not amount to any criminal offense. Child sexual assaults have reached epidemic proportions. Obviously, however, not all ' allegations of sexual mnUetet.fo" are true. Because of foe stigma associated with allegations of this kind of conduct,' law enforcement personnel should tike great cars ' : that the evidence supports the criminal charge before a man is subjected to the humiliation, ridinile, and scorn of his which accompanies neighbors such a public accusation.
