As to the firing, he pulled phone records and went in to Maggie accusing her of the leak But the call he was excited about involved answering a call from the T/S regarding a case she had handled, and that was the sole call he had on her. Frustrated, with no new developments and purely out of spite, he fired Jackson the next day in the middle of an ongoing prelim.

The DDA’s did not participate in the recall other than Dikeman who ran in order to protect the office if the recall was successful. There was too much fear. I was there, although left later on. What I can tell you is that after Paul fired Jackson, the office was so fractured that it couldn’t work. Paul had tried to fire Fleming the day before he fired Jackson, but backed off. The talk in the office was that he accused Maggie of leaking information to the press. She didn’t talk about it but everyone heard what happened. Then the next day he fired Jackson. Her firing shocked us so much that many of us simply cried at our desks all day because we knew it was the beginning of the end. After that, it went all to hell. Then the deputies started to leave in droves because if Paul could do that then nobody was safe if they did their jobs. As clerical, we all watched and there was nothing any of us could do. When Dikeman ran, some of us tried to talk anonymously to the press because something had to change, but there was so much cover up that the public simply didn’t know how bad it was. I am now in a different office and am glad for it. But for whomever, sliming good people to cover up for Paul’s stupidity is simply wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-54804833878045396802008-06-23T15:43:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:43:00.000-07:00Deliberately obtuse is what they are 3:32.Deliberately obtuse is what they are 3:32.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-16479913552726368732008-06-23T15:32:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:32:00.000-07:00Looks like Rose's last question fubared the Orks.....Looks like Rose's last question fubared the Orks...they are speechless and still not getting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-19597124644755326562008-06-23T15:10:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:10:00.000-07:00Since it is possible that you could have a new DA ...Since it is possible that you could have a new DA every 4 years, do you really want complete turnover every 4 years because the guy you elected has a thin skin, can't get along with the staff he inherits, expecially the ones whose skills so vastly dwarf his own, because the staff knows the ins and outs and protocol and expects him to behave morally and legally correctly?<BR/><BR/>Is that really what you are saying?<BR/><BR/>THINK ABOUT THIS -Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-32040044965976893862008-06-23T15:04:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:04:00.000-07:00I think we will wait for you to get "un"busy then ...I think we will wait for you to get "un"busy then and provide them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-22923170233517018802008-06-23T15:03:00.000-07:002008-06-23T15:03:00.000-07:00Answering 2:53 - looks like all the other DDA's le...Answering 2:53 - looks like all the other DDA's left after the Jackson fiasco.

Allison Jackson, a specialist in prosecuting child abuse, was fired, apparently for political reasons. As we reported earlier this year ("One year later," March 3), the loss of Jackson was an "incredible, monumental" blow to the county, in the words of a manager at the North Coast Rape Crisis Team. Unlike in previous days, the District Attorney's Office has no prosecutor permanently assigned to domestic violence cases, and only a part-time liaison to the county's multi-agency Child Abuse Services Team, according to Dikeman.<BR/><BR/>These charges were given added weight Tuesday, with the release of a grand jury report sharply critical of Gallegos (see "Weekly Wrap," p. 8). They are charges that can't be answered with a sneer about "Maxxam" or a "good old boys network," and Gallegos supporters would be well advised not to try that dodge.
