Everett Rice is a freak, from what I hear. Judging by the demeanor of the sheriff's dept, in light of the principal that leadership makes the organization, I must conclude that he is indeed a sick fellow. Only now he gets to be a representative of the people. this place is under some kind of curse.
He can audit any and all judges whenever he wants to. He's a CPA for starters and Karleen DeBlaker was warming a chair for the past five to ten years. He'll be a vast improvement, benefiting all.
