In a few days, I will leave office after a prosecutorial career spanning almost 40 years. Before I leave, I’d like to take a moment to thank the citizens of the Pikes Peak region for entrusting me with leading the incredible men and women of the 4th Judicial District (Teller and El Paso counties) for the past 12 years.
Hard to believe, but we are the busiest DA’s office in the state, handling 32-35,000 cases per year, or in my 12 years as DA about 350,000 to 400,000 cases. We have grown to over 240 employees, 90 attorneys, and over 125 volunteers. You can be proud of the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that they have devoted to each one of these cases and the compassion with which each crime victim has been treated.
