County prosecutor's win-at-all-cost mentality elevates convictions over justice | Opinion
In the recent Enquirer article, "Critics dismiss Hamilton County integrity unit as 'political stunt,'" two things caught my attention. First, that the "integrity unit" supposedly established by our prosecutors' office is totally fake. It’s not anything similar to "real" integrity units that other prosecutors have established; it is a mirror image. If the best practice is to have someone from outside be the unit’s head, then the one here is one of the longest-serving employees. If there are parameters and practices that work best − do the opposite. This is just an election-year stunt from a very tired and inbred office.
