The sheriff was 100%. The State Court Administrator and Chief Justice orchestrates an illegal break in of a county property in violation of Iowa Code 721. Chief Justice Cady died last night of a heart attack.

> The State Court Administrator and Chief Justice orchestrates an illegal break in of a county property in violation of Iowa Code 721. That's a very open question. Under Iowa law, the counties have to provide the buildings to the state, but the state controls them. The position of the state court is that this control is total when it comes to security, and thus they can authorize whatever they like. (And their are court decisions supporting this view.) Ultimately this is a legal question, which will be answered by the courts. But uh, the smart money is that the Iowa state courts will decide that the Iowa state courts were correct the first time, have lots of power, and didn't break any laws. But hey, anything could happen...

  Chief Justice Cady admitted he was in the wrong before his death Friday. It won’t be revisited.

    You might want to consider citing some evidence.

      Excerpt from the article: ‘In October, Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady, who oversees the state’s judicial branch including all judicial officers and court employees, apologized for the incident before the state’s Senate Government Oversight Committee, according to the Des Moines Register, which has been closely following developments in the case. “In our efforts to fulfill our duty to protect confidential information of Iowans from cyberattacks, mistakes were made,” he said, using the passive voice that’s so common in leaders’ admissions of responsibility. “We are doing everything possible to correct those mistakes, be accountable for the mistakes and to make sure they never, ever occur again.” He declined to comment for this story.’
