Fresno DA's office also gets the ax:
But the District Attorney's office is also facing cuts. DA Elizabeth Egan says that without enough prosecutors to handle cases, public safety is also jeopardized. "There are consequences when you don't have deputy DA's there to get those cases filed, if we don't file them in 48 hours the person's released."

Subprime JD: A blog dedicated to exposing the law school and higher education scam.
Sad news. Of course, delusional lemmings and "law professors" will blame the current state of the economy. Wouldn't want to provide an accurate picture of the industry, after all, would they? Both camps have a stake in keeping up the facade: the "professors" want to maintain their cushy, $180K a year jobs - and the lemmings want to prove themselves.
ReplyDeleteKeep posting the facts, Subprime! We are doing what we can to get the word out. Whether the 0Ls have enough gray matter to accept it is a different matter. These kids have been thoroughly warned - if they don't take heed, they have only themselves to blame.
Ironically, as the economy and Sacramento's ability to pay prosecutors worsens, crime--the need for prosecutors--will probably increase.
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens Frank when a society goes broke. The state can no longer afford what it needs, i.e. , more prosecutors. The standard of living across the US will continue to fall until CONgress stops sucking corporate oligarch dick.
