Could this be a scam by elements of the police dept. to further embarrass the much hated DA, Paul Pfingst, criticized for ethical lapses and bungled murder cases? A two term incumbent, he pulled less than forty-two percent (42%) of the vote in Tuesday's primary despite the heavy press coverage thanks to the DVD case.

If the 17,000 votes left to be counted Monday don't change things, Pfingst is likely to face former deputy DA and current Superior Court judge Bonnie Dumanis (kneejerk Freepers will overlook her qualifications and obsess over allegations? she's Lesbian). The bonus is the union's candidate lost. If somehow Dumanis isn't the run-off candidate (she has a lead of around 8000 votes right now), it'll be attorney Mike Aguirre, someone with apparently NO prosecutorial experience.

I don't beielve so....too obvious. The DA Pfingst is doing a good enough job bungling things up....
