In Humboldt County, small, rural, entrenched, we are lucky to have a DA like Maggie Fleming and her staff

Kailan Meserve, Andrew Stunich, Timothy Flemming, Cory Fisher, all these cases show that District Attorney Maggie Fleming prosecutes regardless of who you are.

It is refreshing to see that in a small, rural county with entrenched systems, DA Maggie Fleming chose to prosecute a lawyer carrying a loaded firearm through security, a former correctional deputy charged with molesting six minor male victims and defendants who have political clout and money. Justice is not always blind.

These are only a few examples.

I am particularly grateful to Deputy District Attorneys Stacey Eads and Carolyn Schaffer as well as former Deputy District Attorney Brie Bennett and the DA investigators who are the CAST team.

If you read my blog regularly, you know that covering sexual assault and child abuse cases, regardless of whether they are high profile or well known is something I have done since I started this blog.

These cases take an emotional toll on all involved. Sometimes the only justice is the victim getting a voice. Under District Attorney Maggie Fleming, victims finally have the resources, the advocacy, the prosecution they did not get with the previous administration.
