FYI, the Times Pic has two interesting stories just yesterday.

Judge Bigelow, while criticizing Jordan’s plan to add more sections of court, mentions that the Judges have been requesting again and again since Katrina for an accounting from the DA’s Office of the cases that are scheduled to come before the Court, but still haven’t received it. Or Jordan’s so-called “plan”.

Then, on the next page, DeBerry talks about how the DA’s Office had to abandon a high-profile murder case involving a toddler because they couldn’t show probable cause, despite the availability of eyewitness testimony. The article goes on to say that, under Jordan, only 41% of violent criminals booked by the police faced actual charges. Jordan tries to blame the police for failing to file reports on time, but there is no way that the DA’s Office doesn’t have, or shouldn’t have, a screener or someone making sure the reports, or whatever needs to be done, get filed.
