Earlier this year, following the initial reports of inmate charges, Whitmire’s committee announced that this interim hearing would focus on SAFPF procedures. But by August, specific mention of SAFPF had dropped off the hearing agenda. Asked why, a committee aide said: “There’s not enough evidence. … We’re not going to hold hearings based on your article” – or based on the growing pile of inmate testimonials, apparently.
