Complaint One

Atty. Ratcliffe asserted the following in an appeal in the Derek Hazard case: When working as a prosecutor, it is reported that Attorney Steven DeLuca showed up unannounced at a meeting with a probation officer and a parolee and told the parolee he would be prosecuted as a probation violator and sent to jail unless he testified "in accordance with the state's version of the truth" in the Derek Hazard case. It is also asserted that Attorney Steven DeLuca - who has since left the attorney general's office - made statements in his final argument to the jury that "may have crossed the threshold of unprofessional conduct."

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

The Exercise Of Power Is The Fastest Acting Intoxicant Known To Man.
You Can Get Drunk Before You Know It.

Many times the reason or purpose for events in our life initially escapes us,
but I am certain we can find reason and/or purpose in everything that happens!

It takes a short time to learn to exercise power, but a lifetime to learn how to avoid abusing it.

We are no longer a country of laws, we are a country where laws are "creatively interpreted."
