The Ada County Prosecutor's Office's most pressing challenge is ensuring that its cases are resolved in the most fair and efficient manner possible and that the public trusts and understands the decisions made by that office.
The current office loses 40% of felony trials and 80-90% of misdemeanor trials. This is a direct result of decisions made by the leadership of that office. From failing to ensure that victims feel heard, not being proactive in communicating with deputies and law enforcement, and minimizing the amount of discretion line prosecutors have, my opponent has made it difficult for those on the front lines to succeed in delivering justice in Ada County.
We address those issues by treating victims with respect and doing everything in our power to make sure that their medical and mental health needs come first. The Office should also make sure that there is constant communication between law enforcement and prosecutors.
