Brickbat: Partying Prosecutor
25th October 2013
Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Paul Howard has spent thousands of dollars of asset forfeiture funds making sure that he and his staff have a good time. According to a recent newspaper report, he’s used it to buy tickets to see Cee Lo Green, to throw holiday parties and to fund an office softball team. He also spent $16,000 of forfeiture funds on security for his home.
Hey, that money was just sitting there.
I guess we’re all Trayvon Martin now. (Except for white people, of course.)
