It appears to be quite a bit of poor administrative decisions being attacked as "crimes" by the prosecutors office. I mean they are attacking her for things like, some deputy was issued a hand gun before his criminal background check was entirely cleared, or after another guy was let go he still had some Sheriff department property at his house. >sheesh< Jah, it was a bunch of bad decisions, and sloppy administratively, but is it criminal? Deputy Russo seems to be accused of threatening someone in an on-line forum and maybe to have "simulated" some documents. Egads! It's just like a murder! Only I'm not exactly sure how one illegally simulates a document, is that like fraud, or forgery? Maybe it's corruption, I don't know, but it smells like a witch hunt.
The prosecutor who just resigned is a piece of work as well... Three lawsuits against him by his own employees. Head butted one? Wow.
