Alaska’s top public defender, Terrence Haas, has resigned amid explosive allegations tied to his past relationship with a former law clerk who later became his wife — claims that surfaced in a motion for a new trial in the high-profile Albrite case. Haas, appointed just three years ago, cited the governor’s office response to the filing as the reason for his departure, accusing them of prioritizing politics over truth. He denies any wrongdoing, insisting both he and his wife testified under oath that no relationship occurred during her clerkship. The agency now has Ariel Toft stepping in as acting head, while court arguments on the new trial motion loom for September 21st.
