I seem to have lost track of this thread overnight (and I'm at **a-hem** work and supposed to be WORKING); can someone explain how the political angle fits in this case? Are the VDs connected with someone investigating the case?
San Diego DA, Paul Pfingst, was running in last Tuesday's primary. He is not an overwhelming favorite and the target of quite a lot of criticism. Last election he ran unopposed, but this ballot had four candidates.
He failed to receive 50% of the votes and is now faced with a run-off.
IOW, his political life is on the line. You can fill in the blanks.
