Saunders DURRER SAUNDERS November 10, 1930 – May 5, 2010 DA Continued from page 1A office in San Diego as a spe- cial assistant United States Attorney. Then I came here to Tehama County as a Deputy DA. Then I worked in Shasta County, as a Deputy DA. And then I was elected, in 1998, and took office in 1999. What is the biggest challenge you would face in office? GC: The biggest chal- lenge will be to continue to provide everything we do. The biggest challenge will be in handling the budget for the upcoming year. KM: To be able to do more with the resources that I have. I don't want to have to go back to the county and ask for more dollars. I think that with the manpower that is in the office, if it would be allocated properly, if I were to introduce a vertical prose- cution type system, that would be beneficial in reducing case loads. How would you cope with a reduced budget? KM: By doing it that way (not adding unneces- sary charges), we would be able to reduce the number of cases that are in court. I had JUDGE Continued from page 1A neys to the court, a situation common in the economic downturn. County Counsel Will Murphy, running against Todd Bottke for Office II, said he was so concerned about the potential for favoritism that he had declined to accept any endorsements. Bottke, for his part, said he had passed the bar in Cal- ifornia, Michigan and Flori- da, each on the first try. Distinct District Attor- neys? Gregg Cohen, the incum- bent, drew from his experi- ence in office to explain the rigors of his job. Cohen said he relied on the county’s Grand Jury for cases in which he could not make a determination him- self. As an example, he cited a woman who, trapped in a closet for three days on end and tortured by her metham- phetamine-using husband, shot him the head. “The question is, what do I do with a case like that?,” he said. Ken Miller, a defense attorney and former Califor- nia Highway Patrol Officer, recounted his time in Ontario, near Los Angeles, and Oakland. Miller argued for vertical prosecution, in which cases assigned to a Deputy DA remain with that Deputy DA, instead of being trans- ferred as the trial continues. The road to Lake Cali- fornia Few questions were directed toward District 3 Supervisor candidates Undersheriff Dennis Garton and Lake California Resi- dent Melvin Freimuth, but the county-maintained road into the community was the most urgent. a young man who was charged for carrying a dirk or dagger. They charge it as a felony, they take him down to it, and he was booked. I said this doesn’t really look like a felony...he told officer at the time “Oh, I was just coming back from fish- ing”...This kid spent 52 actu- al days in jail, because it took them 52 days to realize this is only a misdemeanor. That's ridiculous...It also cost the jail $65 to $70 a day to keep him in jail. GC: We're not going to stop prosecuting any class or type of crime. We're still going to continue what we do. We're going to have to work harder as an office. What would your biggest priority be? GC: Well, my biggest priority is really trying to come up with a solution to how we as a county can work collectively on gang cases. My goal would be to develop a county-wide, interagency gang task force. KM: Biggest property at this time would be to insti- tute the vertical prosecution. That way, the case stays with one deputy, all the way (instead of switching between deputies)...They're the ones that know the case the best. Basically what it Asked about the road, both made allusions to fix- ing the county portion of the road, which is uneven and too narrow for a pair of school buses, without offer- ing a clear solution, though Garton mentioned “connec- tions in Sacramento.” Both candidates were asked about medical mari- juana, but deferred to the existing law. Battle for the badge The road question was also pitched to Sheriff Clay Parker and Det. Dave Hen- cratt, who are competing for the sheriff’s seat. Both con- ceded the area was out of the jurisdiction of law enforce- ment, though Parker said he would use his influence to sway county spending. Parker also used the night to unveil plans for a depart- ment sub-station in Lake will assist in doing is to resolve the cases in a more expedient manner. (I would also) only charge the case for what it is worth. If it's a felony, it can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. You don't charge the felony because you can. How would you mea- sure your success? KM: I would measure my success as a district attorney insofar as what the local crime rates in the area would be doing. I figure bad guys need to be taken off the street and sent to prison, the real bad guys. If you’re just in here, you made a mistake and stubbed your toe, that's not the sort of person you need to send to jail...If we give them some type of pro- bation, some type of fines, we’re not going to (need to) send them through the (courtroom) doors again. GC:I would measure my success by looking at the cases we filed, and looking at the dispositions in those cases, which is what I do on a normal basis anyway. So when I say dispositions, whether or not those people were charged properly and whether they received jail time. California, which would sometimes have an officer in it. The idea drew applause from the crowd. Substations have been used in Red Bluff to give police officers a place to file paperwork outside of the office and to increase police presence in certain neighborhoods. Asked about medical marijuana, both deferred to existing law. Parker repeated statements that he plans to handle com- plaints personally. Hencratt brought up cost-saving measure, including putting adminis- trators back out in the field. Another would be to start a farm for inmates, not only to teach hard work but to raise food for the jail.
