That incompetent slob currently calling himself the district attorney has what was formerly a model program so f****ed up that local child abuse investigators are being told NOT to send kids there for interviews. It is malpractice at it worst and child abuse victims and their families are paying the price. The Attorney General must investigate NOW!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad - even worse is that this community has facilitated this by intentionally turning their heads away.
ReplyDeleteShame on them, shame on Gallegos, shame on Schwartz and shame on everyone still involved in that failed program that hasn't spoken out.
The current stats may be interesting, but it seems to me they don't mean much unless you have similar stats from the pre-Gallegos
ReplyDeleteyears, then Gallegos before he fired Jackson, then post Jackson, etc.
Those were covered in the Eureka Reporter almost exactly a year ago:

So when you get the data
ReplyDeleteyou can do a side by side comparison, and wait for the excuses, hedges, and other attempts to avoid
responsibility to flow.
Has yougo won a child molest trial yet? Has he done one?
These stats should be
hmmmm, interesting.
Wonder how the ex Humboldt
DA's who are DA's elsewhere, have done, trial wise? Are those other counties getting our money's worth?
If the Eureka Reporter can do a story for the local news-why can't they interview the State Attorney General about what he has done to look into this mess??
