If the correct trooper wasn't issued a subpoena, which trooper did they contact? Subpoenas are usually issued weeks in advance of the court date and if, in fact, another trooper was subpoenaed, they should have known immediately that they had the wrong name because he is going to contact the D.A.'s office ASAP to have his name removed from the witness list so he doesn't have to appear.
Is the fire chief another one of Rex Gore's friends?
