I'm here to prove my innocence in court. Appeals to the Mendocino Board of Supervisors People from Round Valley and other concerned people had spoken to the Mendocino Board of Supervisors in May, asking for help. They recounted the events of the year and expressed a concern that the Sheriff was not providing them with protection from the violence being inflicted upon their families. They have asked that the Supervisors give a vote of no-confidence in the Sheriff, and that the Board call for another agency to assume law enforcement powers on the reservation. The first steps were taken to launch a recall of the Sheriff.
Some tribal members feel that a congressional investigation needs to happen.
The Board did not respond formally. There have been continuing allegations of police cover up and lack of equal protection. There have been more shooting incidents on the reservation since the April homicides, including the October shooting of a brother to Leonard Peters, allegedly by the son of Gene Britton. Elvin 'Pink' Peters was shot in both legs while standing on the side of the road. The police investigation and response has led to no arrests even though there were witnesses who identified the vehicle and some of the shooters.
