Thought this deserved a thread of its own:
If a DA in NC does not have law enforcement authority, then certainly when a DA takes over the supervision of DPD officers, giving them orders in an investigation and taking reports from them, entirely replacing and supplanting their chain of command (so that their own officers cannot contradict his instructions or give them orders) then that DA surely has stepped outside of his role as a DA and assumed law enforcement duties... which both pierces his immunity as DA and which actions were illegal in NC (meaning that both his role, and the role of the DPD command staff which acquiesced in his take-over, need to be investigated). It's been nearly 900 days now since the plaintiffs first filed a suit in this matter, and it was blatant at that time that there were sufficient grounds to proceed with their suit: “According to state statutes, the district attorney has no law enforcement authority.” Yet they have had to wait (and are still having to wait) for the court to rule that they do indeed have such grounds. Nearly 900 days. Whatever is a man without means supposed to do if he is expected to wait 900 days before getting even to the discovery phase of his suit against government? Is justice in the federal system so administered that people without means cannot even get their cases before a jury? |

Companion civil lawsuits need to be filed in North Carolina state court. The more the merrier. And it keeps the story alive and keeps pressure on Potted Plant II. |

Dick Ellis, public information officer for the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). I guess he ought to know. Ergo, I hope the attorneys for the Plaintiffs take note. |
