Rewards for Collusion

One of most unusual events in any city's history would be the mobilization and the joining of religious groups, those who have their own histories of prejudice toward others, with those of similar religious beliefs to defeat a common 'enemy' that challenges their status quo. An admission of guilt to the wrongdoing of these religious groups would destroy their sanctimonious proselytizing of superior religious beliefs. And don't forget about the money that's always involved when it comes to saving souls vs. justice.

Besides the support of the usual religious leaders, the flock would be comprised like the nursery rhyme characters, 'butcher, baker, candle stick maker', and add the bankers, judges, etc. While many of the 'good' people remain nameless like the back room supporters to the KKK and Neo-Nazis, some stand out to get their rewards.

One so rewarded is local history professor Jon Hunner, New Mexico State University, whose collusion with the religious factions was verified by Defense attorney William R. Babington, Jr. who said, "You know, he is one of ours." Professor Hunner sold himself for the $2,500 the plaintiffs had to pay him for his sophomoric history report Judge Sold-Out Brack accepted over the protestations of the plaintiffs. There were other immediate rewards like the new designation of court-appointed "Expert Witness" which was proven fraudulent in the report and on the witness stand.

Hunner's more recent reward is his appointment as Department Head of the History Department at the New Mexico State University. Hunner knows he took the money under false credentials and the plaintiffs want their money back. This amounts to a new meaning of 'white collar' crime.
