PUBLISHER'S NOTE: Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin has taken on an extraordinary challenge: Going to bat for a former Oklahoma City police officer who she claims was convicted and sentenced to 263-years behind bars. Malkin summarizes Part 1, of Pyongyang on the prairie as follows: "Two weeks ago, I reported that former Oklahoma City Police Department senior forensic analyst Elaine Taylor is the mother-in-law of Detective Rocky Gregory, who co-led the investigation of former OCPD officer Daniel Holtzclaw. This information was not disclosed by police or prosecutors before, during, or after a biased investigation, botched forensic analysis and testimony, and chaotic trial that resulted in a 263-year sentence for Holtzclaw -- who has maintained his complete and actual innocence from the start and is appealing his convictions." In Part 2, Malkin digs deeper into the alleged conflict of interest and the wall of secrecy which she claims was devastating to the defence - as she dissects the allegedly nefarious role played by former analyst Taylor in obtaining the convictions. Malkin's fascinating commentary can be read in its entirety at the link below:

See Wikipedia entry at the link below: "Holtzclaw, who had been on paid administrative leave since he was charged in August 2014,[31] was fired from the force in January 2015 and his trial began on November 2, 2015.[32] He faced 36 charges, including sexual battery, assault, coercive oral sodomy, and stalking; he pled not guilty to all charges.[17][33][34][35]In court, prosecutors produced DNA evidence that was found on a triangle-shaped spot on the inside of Holtzclaw's uniform close to the zipper. After the hearing, his family made a statement that "The facts are that there is no DNA linking him to any of these women as far as was presented in the hearing."[17] According to The New York Times however, the DNA did match one of the victims, then aged 17.[33][36][37][38] The DNA that was found was skin DNA; Holtzclaw's DNA was not found in the same area of clothing where the 17-year-old accuser's skin DNA was found. Holtzclaw's defense attorney explained the presence of the skin cells as "secondary transfer" whereby Holtzclaw's hands had possibly come into contact with the woman's skin cells when he searched her purse and later transferred them to the zipper area of his pants.[39][40] During the trial, Holtzclaw did not contest that he encountered the women, but he maintained his innocence. The defense concentrated on the accusers' lifestyles and called just one witness, a former girlfriend of Holtzclaw's who testified he never exhibited sexually aggressive or inappropriate behavior around her.........Columnist Michelle Malkin has written about the case, and has said that she believes Holtzclaw is innocent based on weak physical evidence and other issues.[61][62][44] Malkin debuted her first and second episodes of CRTV.com's Daniel in the Den on December 12, 2016 in Enid."
