Bonneville County Prosecutor, Bruce Picket, decided it was not “Proper” to Prosecute a Local Doctor for a Felony Offense

Not sure if there is a written code regarding when it is “proper” to prosecute someone for a felony offense. In all likelihood it is an unspoken code created behind closed doors by officials in Idaho Falls, Idaho.  In 2013, Idaho Falls City Attorney, Randall Fife, disclosed in a letter to Mayor Jared Fuhriman that after a discussion with the Bonneville County Prosecutor, Bruce Pickett, they agreed that it was not proper to prosecute a local doctor for allowing fraudulent records to be introduced during a medical malpractice court process.  Idaho Statute 18-2602, states that this is a felony offense.

The letter and other documents that show the disturbing lack of ethics of officials in Idaho Falls appear in chapter 6 of “God’s Miracle Among Corruption in Idaho.”  Attorney Fife goes on to make many false statements in the letter. 

It is unsettling to know that elected officials and appointed ones lack integrity and the ability to protect the rights of every citizen within the communities they represent. I am sure that citizens in Idaho Falls would like to know what discriminating factors the prosecuting attorney and the city attorney used to determine who it is “proper” to prosecute when a felony has been committed.  Idaho Falls is not the lone wolf, but it is a prime example of why the Federal Government needs to do more in the area of Medical Malpractice reform to insure local officials do not corrupt the civil process, and, even more so, the criminal process.  The violation of citizen’s rights by elected officials is not acceptable.
