San Diego city attorneys botched 98 cases

[left-of-center2012]

Two top prosecutors left the San Diego city attorney's office in November after an internal investigation found 98 bungled cases, including several in which missed deadlines meant those accused of domestic violence weren't prosecuted.
(In 81 of the problem cases, the legal deadline passed)

... four sources told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the employees held responsible were former Deputy City Atty. Miriam Milstein and her superior, Marlea Dell'Anno, the former assistant city attorney who had run the criminal division since 2012.

... as many as 50 case files had been physically removed from the office and were at Dell'Anno's home for months.

Milstein (has) started a new job as a prosecutor for San Diego County Dist. Atty. Bonnie Dumanis, whose office handles more serious felony cases.

1. Somewhere there is a right wing budget person that underfunded this department.

I doubt it's all incompetence.
