COULTER VERSUS THE FACTS

JUST TODAY I READ COULTER'S COLUMN IN THE TUCSON DAILY STAR. SHE MENTIONED THE INFAMOUS PIE-THROWING ATTACK ON HER WHEN SHE CAME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ON 10/22/04.

HERE'S PART OF WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS:

Then on March 19, all charges were dismissed against the "Deliverance" boys - including a felony charge for $3,000 worth of damage to school property. Inexplicably, this outcome did not instantly lead to widespread rioting and looting in South Central Los Angeles.
Democrat Barbara LaWall is the Pima County attorney who allowed the liberal debate champions to walk. LaWall brags on her Web site about "holding criminals accountable."
She didn't say anything about liberals, however. Be forewarned, conservatives: Do not expect the law to protect you in Pima County.


IN THE SAME ISSUE OF THE PAPER, I FOUND THIS ITEM ABOUT THE PIE-THROWERS:

Pima County prosecutors plan to take another shot at two men accused of throwing pies at political writer Ann Coulter, even though she didn't show up at their first trial last month.
The Pima County Attorney's Office intends to refile misdemeanor criminal damage and assault charges against Phillip Edgar Smith and William Zachary Wolff in connection with an Oct. 22 incident involving Coulter at UA's Centennial Hall, said Chief Criminal Deputy David Berkman.
Smith and Wolff were scheduled to go to trial March 18, but neither Coulter nor the arresting officer showed up, Berkman said.
As a result, Deputy County Attorney Carlos Betancourt was forced to ask that the case be dismissed, with the understanding that it could be refiled, Berkman said. His request was granted.
Coulter was sent repeated notices of the court date, and she will be notified of the new court date as well, Berkman said.
He said it should also be noted that Coulter never contacted prosecutors to find out the resolution of the case.
Coulter couldn't be reached for comment late Friday.
