A search into court records of the Couglar case convinced the commission of the existance of several discrepancies. The court transcript, it said, gave no indication that the prosecution was represented when Couglar's term was cut in half by Davidson. "Secondly, from a review of the court records, it appeared they had been changed to indicate that the reduced sentence was in actuality the original sentence," said the SIC.
