Tallon Westlake has now been indicted for murder in the death of his father, former Alaska legislator Dean Westlake.
Former Alaska legislator’s alleged killer, his son, now indicted on first- and second-degree murder chargesRep. Dean Westlake, D-Kiana, speaks during a House Floor Session on Feb 3, 2017.
But on Monday an Anchorage grand jury indicted Tallon Westlake on charges of first-degree murder — that is, for allegedly acting with intent in killing his father — and second-degree murder, under the alternate theory that he showed “extreme indifference” to his father’s life. “Even when somebody’s arrested, the investigation continues in the case. It doesn’t stop,” Sears said. “And so, in this case, you know, between gathering evidence, medical evidence, police investigation just continued, and we just got more information.”
Sears, the prosecutor, said grand jurors heard additional evidence gathered after Tallon’s arrest when they indicted him on Monday.
