Another retired public defender hired by Humboldt County DA

 

Retired Deputy Public Defender and former Deputy Conflict Counsel Leslie Keig is now working at tje  Humboldt County DA's office. She will join her former colleague Andy Truitt who already works there.  Mr. Truitt mostly handles cases in early resolution court. Ms. Keig will be appearing on cases in  juvenile court.

According to her Facebook post, "Part time short term extra help. Definitely a different perspective."

I like Ms. Keig but what did I say in my earlier post about Deputy DA Luke Bernthal leaving and hiring of annuitants? Can Maggie and Stacey hire and retain anyone not in the old clique? What does it say when you get  long time retirees and public defenders and cannot get people who want a career as prosecutors to stay?
