Tuttle Captures Oversight

The politically connected Reverend Billy Lee Tuttle promotes a special ‘anti-Christian crimes’ task force that wants the Dora Lange files and the power to take over the case—before the detectives know that Tuttle-linked institutions are implicated.

Oversight fails before any evaluation begins when an interested power center can choose the evaluator, define the mandate, and seize the evidence. It is regulatory capture rendered as a police procedural.

The analogy is institutional capture, not an AI system manipulating its own monitor; the full extent of the Tuttle network is established across later episodes.
