As always....more and more questions arise........most of them easily answered back then........if honest........but, slowly, the shades seem to be coming up.....letting more light in. I'm curious as to what their definition of "securing" the place was. Seems like they did nothing....unless..............they made some sort of deposit. Was Franke's wife home that night? Did she see them "secure" the place?
Just like an onion......gotta peel it back layer by layer. I appreciate you helping to peel......
That's the question alright. What did they do to "secure" the place. Francke's wife, Bingta, was not there. They had recently separated and she was in California, I believe;
Gable is currently suing the state for the wrongful conviction. Other than that, though, there's no reason to expect that anyone will be punished for what the federal court rather politelyn called "official misconduct."
Could that mean that the planned cover up of Michael's assassination had to change from looking like a suicide, to looking like a burglary? After Michael fooled everyone by leaving through the porch door, they had to improvise with the stabbing. They had to separate Michael from his gun. If the gun was found on him after the stabbing, it would be evidence that he was being threatened and in fear for his life.
But how did the OSP get the gun so quickly? It could likely have been in Michael's briefcase in the car Tim left at the auto body shop after the stabbing that same night. So the burglary motive came into play at that point. Tim was still alive and probably started getting the message right away that the fuck up was going to be pinned on him.
When Liz shot Tim, they had to find a different patsy asap. Crouse was the low hanging fruit (probably Burgess' idea), but he was too compromised. So then they had to look OUTSIDE the group who was involved with McAlister, Burgess, and probably Melody. So "they" found Frank Gable - he'd been involved in prison industries scamming but was an addict and small time dealer. They then manipulated him into being a drug snitch in Keizer to have someone all the McAlister pawns would willingly finger to play the probation and parole graft game he apparently had going.
It might be Michael's murder was an "extra-judicial" killing, and McAlister at the very least a material witness. The OSP has always been in control, with McAlister as their lawyer. Or some variation of that theme.
Side note: Nell Brown's habeas brief was very illuminating for me. I went to high school with Steve Gassner (Madison High) who was with Hoyt Cupp handing over $$ to Natividad after the killing and mentioned a couple times in reports about the state pen. And Mickey Goss who was named in the brief as a liar about Gable's ostensible confession, grew up in the Montavilla neighborhood like me. He was at the "juvenile home" (unlike me 🙂) regularly in grammar school in the late 1950s, and sadly had a regular spot at Rocky Butte Jail as a young adult. He went to the state pen after having to leave Madison high school as a freshman. Some of that group of kids rose above it, some went to work for corrections. Like one of the wives told me years later - if their boyfriends/husbands were going to spend so much time in the jail, they may as well be getting paid for it. Of course that was Longoria territory as well (maybe still is).
Only two options: Michael forgot it when he left home that morning, which seems unlikely considering his hypervigilance at that time. Or, the state police put it there. If they had not planted it there, I think the conspiracy/corruption theory would have had wings as the reason for Michael carrying the gun, but only in the absence of the suicide scenario. They got the gun right away because they were intimately involved in every step of the whole thing. There's no other explanation that I can see that makes sense. They were able to plant the gun within hours after Michael was found - that's probably what they really did to "secure" the premises. They did not do anything else, we know that for sure.

Was there ever reparations from all of this mess. I can’t believe people weren’t prosecuted.

That's the question alright – how they got the gun.
