Due to hiring freezes & our prioritization of felonies, our misdemeanor team shrunk as we kept filing new cases. The result: average caseloads rose from ~150 in 2019 to nearly 250 today. That is too many cases for one attorney, no matter how hard working. We need more lawyers.
How hard is it to free monsters to commit more crimes? Seems easy enough - even you can do it. We would save more if we Defund Chesa for sure.
