The crew of Alien Boy have been slowly stewing the dozens of interviews and hundreds of photos, graphical details and important facts about what happened to James Chasse – and waiting for various legal issues to conclude.
May 11, 2010 Portland City Police Commissioner Dan Saltzman, along with City Attorneys Jim Rice and Linda Meng, announced a tentative settlement to the civil suit Chasse v City of Portland for $1.6 million dollars.
The next day Portland Mayor Sam Adams fired police chief Rosie Sizer, and moved the police bureau to his portfolio, leaving Saltzman – the city council’s elder statesman – with the council’s smallest workload.
As of today, June 25, no actual settlement has been made with the Chasse family. But for a variety of reasons we expect a settlement soon.
Once civil concerns are set aside were hoping a set of interested persons will be willing speak on camera and explain their involvement with what happened to James Chasse.
