Huh in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Likely won’t be on much; as I am in a Conference for Prosecuting Attorneys.
(1) We discussed a fascinating Cold Case that could have come strait from the ID Channel “Deadly Women.” AND… it was from my area. The County kitty corner to mine! And the attorney… no assistant county attorney in that county… young (started in 2013)… and had never had Prosecutor Experience before. So… that is certainly someone I need to get in contact with. Because if he can handle a high profile cold case like that? I need to know how he could pull it off.
(2) Talked to a few other prosecutors. They are surprised, horrified, and a little offended at my county. Our jail is criminally small (as it has not been updated for at least 4 decades or more). The fact that our county does not use a computer case management system seems outright archaic. Every other county in Iowa uses something; but as our County Attorney is afraid of technology… we don’t have one. AND the fact that our county doesn’t have West Law or Lexis Nexis seems downright negligent to them. Because how are you going to read cases if you don’t have a system to GET CASES! I know. I know. This is what happens when you have someone who is terrified of electricity in charge! At least it is nice to know that they don’t know how to deal with it. It makes my not knowing how to deal with it seem less… due to my inexperience.

But… of course… that still honestly doesn’t help me. Because if the answer is “Uhm… join the 21st Century?” I don’t have the power to do that. Frustration, thy name is me. But at least the resort here has air conditioning. Being in the Tiny Town House with no Air Conditioning during the weekend where we had 100 degree temperatures was downright PAINFUL!
