DA, DUI, Duh-Huh?
I don't know any of these people personally, but it does bother me that, of all those "dozens of applications" the Santa Cruz County District Attorney's office received, the present office personnel selected an attorney with this background as the cream of the crop. Or maybe they just saw him as the best fit for this county. Either way, it's worrisome. And the quoted comment from San Joaquin County's District Attorney is worrisome too. How can a DA think that a DUI conviction isn't serious and then properly prosecute DUI cases?
To say that our tax dollars are paying for these folks to send out a whole lot of mixed messages might just be an understatement at this point.
