Charles #Koch wants to reform the criminal justice system. And he has some Koch said his own experiences in courts -- including the time a federal grand jury indicted Koch Industries on 97 counts of environmental crimes in 2000 -- prompted him to study the justice system at both the state and federal level. In that particular case, centered on a Koch Petroleum Group refinery in Corpus Christi, Texas, prosecutors eventually dropped all but one of the charges after the corporation agreed to pay a settlement. According to Kochs chief counsel Mark Holden, the case made the billionaire industrialist wonder how the little guy who doesnt have Koch’s resources deals with prosecutions like that, the Eagle reports. Koch has unofficially teamed up with.. George Soros and the American Civil Liberties Union to address prison reform. Koch has also earned praise from ..U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who told The Marshall Project that Kochs donation to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, which funds training for attorneys who represent those in need, was a positive force.
