Track Palin Has Most Charges Dropped From Punching Girlfriend In The Face, Isnt That Nice?

Track Palin and Jordan Loewe; stolen from Immoral Minority.
Track Palin has struck a plea deal with the Anchorage Veterans Court stemming from a January incident when he punched his girlfriend in the face, held a weapon to his head and threatened to fire, kicked her in the knee, and tried to keep her from calling 911, allegedly.
You and everyone else will be delighted to know the state dropped domestic violence charges and charges of interfering with the report of a domestic violence crime, and Track pleaded guilty only to having a weapon while shitfaced. This was done as a condition of his entry into the veterans court, though the Alaska Dispatch News does not say whose condition that was. Like, did Track Palin say naw, I will not go to your special veterans court unless you drop all these charges? Or did the court say, we are not allowed to sentence you to a hug if you beated up your girlfriend, so see if you can get those dismissed first? A curious Wonker Nation wants to know!
Here is a paragraph from the police report!
Sergeant Rader observed [redacted] to have bruising and swelling around her left eye. She complained of pain to that area as well as to her right knee. He observed a small red area near her knee. The involved firearm, an unloaded AR-15 rifle was located on the kitchen counter.
While we certainly hope Track Palin gets the help he needs in the alcohol sobriety plan the court has set up for him, and that Barack Obama will stop personally giving veterans the PTSD they had before they went into Army, it is still a small bit concerning to us that Palins domestic violence charges were dropped so easily. And if he does all his AA meetings, or whatever they do for alcohol treatment in the Anchorage Veterans Court, his weapons misconduct charge will be expunged too! That is very nice for him.
Here is a much longer paragraph from the police report!
She and her boyfriend of one year, Track Palin, left a different residence together and were arguing the whole way home. Once they got to his home they argued in the car, then in the driveway . They were screaming and he was calling her names. [Redacted] told Palin that she had called the cops even though she had not, in attempt to calm him down and to scare him away from touching her. Palin approached [Redacted] and struck her on the left side of her head near her eye with a closed fist. [Redacted] got on the ground in a fetal position because she didnt know what else he would do. Palin then kicked [redacted] on the right knee. [Redacted]s phone was sitting on the ground in front of her. Palin took her phone and threw it across the driveway. She retrieved the phone and went inside the house. Palin was already inside and holding onto a gun, yelling do you think Im a pussy? and do you think I wont do it? [Redacted] stated Palin cocked the gun and was holding the rifle out next to him with the his right hand near the trigger and his left hand near the barrel, with the barrel just away from his face pointed to the side. [Redacted] was concerned that he would shoot himself and ran outside and around the house. She didnt see where Palin went, so she went inside and up the stairs, where she hid under a bed. Shortly after, she heard Palin walking around inside looking for her. Palin left after not locating her.

(7,768 posts)Oh yes they do. They're very unpopular now in Alaska but they absolutely have the goods on people that they can use when needed. The Palins have engaged in some nasty, really bad stuff and there are people who are literally deathly afraid of them. Hopefully, one of these days some people will speak out and then the floodgates will burst open. Can't happen soon enough!

(33,473 posts)You plead to a lesser count and agree to drug counseling; other charges are dismissed.
There's not enough capacity in the courts to take every crime through a jury trial, nor is there room in prison to punish every offender to the maximum extent of the law.
Girlfriend needs to be ex-Girlfriend, and would be well advised to high thee hence out of AK.

(82,849 posts)First, Track's case was sent to something called the Veterans' Court, which I guess (I surely don't know) is some sort of special parallel court system in Alaska to deal with veterans and their criminal issues. More sensitive to issues having to do with military service, like PTSD, I'm guessing some more.
In any case, the judge in Track's veterans court case was appointed by Gov. Palin. Those two circumstances would seem to guarantee a more sympathetic treatment for Track than he might otherwise receive even in a crowded criminal court system.

If Track and the rest of the Palins were poor, he'd be doing hard time.

(33,473 posts)Maybe time served. A huge percentage of criminal cases are resolved in pleas and very little "hard time".

I'd let the young men in behind me have at him. They were enough of gentleman that when I said No, they listened. Her entire family are nothing but thugs, and they are NOT Alaskan.
