Mr Moran, you may not be aware, though you did seek out my LinkedIn page this morning, that you have called me a coward along with Mr. Ward. You have done this by questioning filing decisions of our office as I have been involved in the filing or rejection of nearly every murder case in this county since 2005, eleven years as the supervisor of the gang and homicide team, the last couple as the ADA over the four special prosecution units (units that prosecute gangs, homicides, child abuse, crimes against women, white collar, welfare fraud, commercial drug cases, auto theft and a few others).

If you ask Mr Darby you will not hear him say anything other than good about my work ethic, legal knowledge, filing decisions and trial ability if he is still able to speak the truth. For those who may not be aware I have prosecuted more than 130 jury trials, 32 of those trials have been murder cases the most recent resulted in a death sentence for the torture/rape/ murder of a three year old little girl.

Unless you have reviewed the reports of the unfiled cases you mentioned you have no way of knowing what evidence exists and what evidence may be admissible or inadmissible.

When a prosecutor files a case he or she is unlikely to win with the available evidence ultimately resulting in a not guilty verdict that prosecutor has denied justice and emboldened a defendant – and that assumes there is enough evidence to be more than guessing as to a defendant’s guilt. If a prosecutor files a case when he or she is not convinced of a person’s guilt the prosecutor has committed a serious ethical violation.

You had one question of me this morning, am I a God Fearing Christian. I now have a question for you, do you think that calling someone a coward without the facts is the action of a God Fearing Christian?

Tulare County DA Tim Ward is the weakest individual I have ever met who has a position to do what is right. He does not do what is right. I know of murders that were committed and rapes that were committed and never prosecuted because they were not easy wins. This type of behavior just emboldens the criminals. It only effects me if I live on the side of crime. But since I live on the side of LAW, what the DA’s office does, is not directly effecting my life. I have gotten very upset in the past when I see what is happening in Tulare County. We need a good Christian man who believes in the LAW and will risk everything to uphold the Law and Justice for All. Tim Ward is a coward.

This is going to get fun.

He also doesn’t seem to realize that with the growth in population in the county, most of us didn’t grow up here at all and don’t find it important that he did we all.
