Makes sense here. No comment on how it's unprecedented for the DA's office to be looked into by the Feds. Because guess what, I highly doubt the Feds have the time or the interest to look into a complaint by a disgruntled employee, unless the target confesses on TV that she ordered an investigation.... Yeah, I think that there is something to look into then. Jolly had to get that out for the blue hairs to read so they can still be delusional and support Lykos. Has anyone checked if he is on the payroll? It's funny how the shift in Jolly's blog really came after Benzion was hired at the DA's office. Before that time, Jolly did a fairly balanced piece on Mike Anderson and his candidacy and his passion. (I wish people that hadn't been prosecutors could understand the passion the we dedicate to our job.... Real prosecutors that is.). And I won't digress into how many people work for Lykos's DA's office that don't do prosecutor work, that have been hired with high paying salaries, because that's a whole other post. Though, I would point out that it seems her latest hire, Benzion, has gotten her good publicity....as I have certainly not noted anything that he has done since he has been hired, other than follow Palmer to her latest hearings.<br /><br />Jolly can also say that I am a disgruntled employee.... Blah blah. That's an easy answer for him when confronted with the facts that there are ADA's that don't like Lykos. Can everyone just get over that the reason why REAL ADA's don't like Lykos isn't because of politics, or her defeating Kelly Siegler.... It's because we can't do our job. Rules come out because she doesn't want to look bad in the press. Well guess what, sometimes justice means making decisions that are not favorable to the public or the press. Lykos will not support those decisions. Lykos hires lots of people that don't seem to give any help to the troops on the ground.... You know, the ones in the trenches.... YOU KNOW THE ONES PROSECUTING CASES, or providing immediate support to those prosecuting. Jolly and Hooper also say we are whining and should just accept our fate with Lykos at the helm. We are whining because we want to get back to doing our jobs, justice. Doing the right thing. Politics be damned! She doesn't know how to do that. We stay because we want to help the victims. We want to help the cops also trying to do justice. <br /><br /><br />I just hope that my colleagues and I can weather this storm. As Oberg points out, it's affecting a very important a case ( and could affect others)..... A man who killed a police officer definitely deserves a death sentence a second time..... But even if a jury decides he does not, the decision is serious enough to be free from the politics of Lykos and her ethical issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-6627235992604764972012-02-08T21:40:31.550-06:002012-02-08T21:40:31.550-06:00Yikes - QX makes a really good point - he said it ...Yikes - QX makes a really good point - he said it doesn't matter if it was a "google" search only - it was an abuse of power because only SHE had the names of the grand jurors.
