Do you have criminal investigators within your DA's office?? The majority of Judicial Districts in this state do. It's paid out of the DA's budget. They can do follow up work on cases for the DA or they can strike out in areas that the DA wants to look at.
I've seen that abused first hand. A DA with that kind of power and support can be a dangerous thing to the public.
He or she is an elected official, in this state for eight years. If the citizens don't like the results, they don't have to be reelected, voters choice.
If you poll the majority of people on the street about crime and LE's response. What they'll tell you is to stick it to every criminal who walks the street, that is aslong as it isn't them or their family.
Popularity and abuse aren't always mutually exclusive....
You can't step on too many toes and still be reelected. They walk a fine line.
