Terry Curry really got egg on his face from the wasted resources on the Bei Bei Shui case. Imagine going from a homicide case to a misdemeanor....disgraceful.

But then he can always boast in political advertising that he pled an orginal murder charge to a misdemeanor equal in punishment to disorderly conduct.

He may already be considered famous (or infamous) as this is chronicled in Wikipedia.

I call Terry Curry out on his claim he sent a high ranking deputy prosecutor to a homicide in lieu of a real police detective. I don't believe it!

Hey, Terry, can you provide the name of the person who deceased???

Defense would have a field day if a supervisory prosecutor tried to handle a crime scene in lieu of police! I'm sure police would let that happen, the closest thing would be that a deputy prosecutor appears near the scene and is briefed on the investigation, but not taking a investigatory role!

Can you imagine the egg in Terry Curry's face should his version ever happen and defense find out about it? -Terry would have to hire a special prosecutor on that case because sending a supervisory prosecutor would cause all manners of conflict in prosecuting....and WE WOULD PAY!

I'm still waiting for someone to document all of those tens of millions in savings we were supposedly going to achieve from the merger of IMPD and the sheriff's law enforcement division.

I really hate to disagree with Mr. Riggs, whom I greatly admire, however, there were NOT 100 officers "reassigned" to the street, as is reported.
Many of those were merely changes in assignment, making them eligible for radio runs.
These NRO's fulfilled a vital function in their old assignment. They were able to take the time to stay in a high-crime area, stake out businesses, and keep the criminals moving around.
At least that's what the original intent of their assignment was.
