'Weird' Newspaper Could Taint Jury Pool in DAPL Case, Court Told

Update: North Dakota South Central Judge James Gion takes a 'wait and see' approach to whether the fossil-funded newspaper has tainted the jury pool. The newspaper, delivered in Morton County, seeks to criminalize water protectors in its articles, and promotes the sheriff. The trial, in Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Water Society, is slated for court in Mandan the third week of Feburary 2025. Greenpeace International says the Dakota Access Pipeline owner is trying to shut it down. Greenpeace says the $300 million SLAPP lawsuit seeks to deny that it was an Indigenous-led movement in Standing Rock 2016 -- 2017.

The Strange Case of Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society

Update: Judge denies Greenpeace request to investigate mailer

By Mary Steurer, North Dakota Monitor, Jan. 3, 2025

In a Dec. 17 order, Gion seemed to agree with Greenpeace that the mailer may have been an effort to sway jurors.

“The Court takes an extremely dim view of attempts to influence a jury panel before the trial,” he wrote.

Still, the judge found it would not be appropriate to approve the discovery request without further evidence the mailer has had a measurable impact on the jury pool.

“There is only one way to determine if such an attempt is successful, and unfortunately the Court agrees with Energy Transfer that way is through the jury questionnaires and jury selection,” he wrote in the order. “If the Court cannot empanel a jury in Morton County, there will obviously be a delay in the trial and the Court can revisit this issue at that time.”
