A reader did some digging after my post yesterday about the unnamed attorney in Ontonagon referred to in the December 6, 1976 edition of the Pick & Axe. Turns out the attorney was Allen Briggs.
The Pick & Axe continued to cover the kid glove treatment being given to attorney Allen Briggs in the wake of an accusation that he committed a sex crime against a 15-year-old boy.
In this January 14, 1977 edition of the badass Pick & Axe, it is revealed that the accuser was advised by Assistant MI AG John A. Wilson and MSP Lt/Det Schwartkopf to take a polygraph. A polygrapher with the MSP concluded the boy was “being truthful when he claims [Briggs] took indecent liberties with him.” Briggs was not asked to take a polygraph.
A follow up article in April 1977 makes it plain that Prosecutor Sterling Schrock was a big a POS as his credibly accused, but apparently never charged, buddy “Al” Briggs.
And of course I recall another attorney with the last name Briggs–Basil “Mickey” Briggs who provided assistance to his cousin Everell E. Fisher, Jr. when his name was turned in on a tip to the OCCK task force.
More on Fisher and his assistance from Cousin Mickey:

If Al is from the same dynasty, it appears there is another black sheep of the unindicted, uncharged variety in addition to “Ev.”
