Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer calls for federal oversight of
district attorney's office

Los Angeles Times | May 22, 2017

Orrange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer asked federal authorities
Monday for an emergency takeover of the Orange County district
attorney's office, citing what he called "continuing revelations of scandal."

Spitzer's letter to U.S. Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions noted a recent
liability claim filed by the office's former lead investigator that
accuses Orange County Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas of campaign
misconduct and interfering in political corruption investigations.

That investigator, Craig Hunter, left the office in April amid
accusations that he sent sexually explicit texts while on duty.

Spitzer's letter also cited a May 17 ruling by an Orange County judge
that said Orange County prosecutors engaged in "serious misconduct"
during the 2008 murder trial of Cole Wilkins, who is facing retrial
in the 2006 death of an off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy.
