| Collapse all
- I am the most pro-law enforcement candidate in my race. The public will only get justice when the prosecutor and police are working closely together in partnership. They are two sides of the same coin. The State Attorney should have a large role in training law enforcement in criminal law. I intend to create a criminal law certificate program for law enforcement. Cops are not lawyers, but they execute criminal laws on the streets. The more knowledge of the law they have, the strong cases will get stronger and the weak cases will not end up in an unnecessary arrest. Monique Worrell has had a toxic adversarial relationship with law enforcement and that harms the community.
- We need to dramatically expand criminal law training within the State Attorney's Office. These trainings need to be more frequent and focused on teaching new lawyers on how to prosecute the most common cases that appear on their dockets. Every criminal case has a large impact on someone accused of a crime. If the prosecutors are experts in criminal law, they will know when their cases are strong and can invest their time into those, ensuring justice for the victim. Additionally, they will also know when a case is weak. If they can obtain more evidence by working with law enforcement, they should. If not, the case will be dismissed. Justice delayed is justice denied. That is true for victims, the community and the accused.
- There are many crimes that don't get the attention they deserve from the State Attorney's Office. I have been running this campaign for a year and a half and many victims of crime who were cooperative and wanted to testify, told me that Monique Worrell dropped their case and they weren't happy. Additionally, the communication was terrible and they did not know why the case against the person who hurt or stole from them was dismissed. The same is true for Law Enforcement. Communication was non-existent and they too did not know why their cases were being dropped. Fraud crimes against the elderly, juvenile gangs, a fentanyl epidemic, homelessness out of control, car and home break-ins, all of which should be priorities.
