As a long time prosecutor, I'm disturbed at the way both Mr. Dollison and Ms. Firpo have handled this situation. Allan should never have criticized a plea agreement without knowing all the facts and issues involved. On the other hand, Elan should not have aired the victim's dirty laundry and other potential evidence for purely political purposes.
In the interest of full disclosure, let me state that I support Maggie Fleming for district attorney. However, this issue goes beyond politics. It involves the prosecutorial ethics of two of the four candidates for DA.
