Yesterday, despite “hours of testimony from roughly 50 residents & stakeholders the County Commissioners did not vote to reinstate its 2 top public defenders.” Firing Commissioner Val Arkoosh (@VAArk) had gall still to claim she “agrees criminal justice system needs reforming.”
This letter from dozens in Dean & Keisha’s office: “To witness our chiefs fired, escorted from the Office by security, given no opportunity to explain their dismissal was deeply upsetting, & created a sense of confusion, fear, & had a chilling effect on those of us who remained.”
