If he was threatening a member of her family, why didn't she persue this thru the court. If he had been convicted, he would have been punished and lost his job as a trooper. But, if he had been fired as they wanted, he still be on the streets and they would be in more danger. This show that Sarah and Todd are not very smart thinkers.
Tahut The threats date back to when Palin's sister was getting her divorce. From the judge's ruling, he saw the threats and innuendos emanating from all members of the Palin clan as "child abuse" and so stated. I suspect there were no threats made. It's easy for a family clan to make an accusation of verbal threats and think they are safe because its us against him.
