Alaska Supreme Court

Mitchell McGRAW v. Samantha COX

September 14, 20122012 Alas. LEXIS 133

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed a long-term domestic violence protective order against Mitchell McGraw. Although McGraw did not complete the crime of coercion because Samantha Cox was not compelled to act, the evidence supported finding that he attempted coercion by threatening disclosures intended to induce her to resume their relationship. The court declined to consider McGraw's constitutional speech argument because he failed to preserve and adequately brief it.
