Reply to Here’s the real reason the EPA doesn’t want to test for toxins in East Palestine | Stephen Lester by hahahoudini

They are taking their sweet time to even BEGIN testing.... That article below, from March 2, 2023, clearly states that the EPA is only in the planning stage to create a "reliable test" to correctly measure the toxin in the soil. The last paragraph says it all:

"EPA is also currently reviewing a draft plan by Norfolk Southern to develop a dioxin “fingerprint” for soil sampling. EPA anticipates that developing a dioxin fingerprint for East Palestine will require use of certified laboratories that can perform high-resolution gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify various isomers of dioxins.  If this dioxin fingerprint can be developed with reliable methodologies, it will help EPA determine whether any dioxin particularly from the train derailment and controlled burn impacted the local environment."

On what grounds?

> The victim was later interviewed at a Children’s Advocacy Center, where she alleged that she had talked to Johnson at Sheetz on occasion and that he had asked her age. She remembered him saying he was either 20 or 21. The victim’s sister had previously told Johnson to leave the victim alone and told him how old her sister was.

Unless she helped cover it up I don’t think she could even be charged with accessory after the fact. What I interpreted was she was only aware of the advances and (and please someone correct me if I’m wrong!!) not at the scene when this took place which is not enough to charge her.
