I wouldn't go so far as to call it neglect. She has made a political decision to not prosecute for whatever reason. It might be the "oath of party loyalty" and moderate and Blue Dog leaders in the Alabama Democratic Party who have instructed her to back off. It could very well be former Democrat US Attorneys and Asst. Attorney Generals in Alabama who are doing well financially because of their growing criminal defense practices. I believe you have written some blog posts about one of those former prosecutors in particular, but it's not just him. It's any group of them who wield influence with the Democratic State Committee which is usually run by lawyers. It's like Al Pacino said in that movie about The Devil. "Being a lawyer is the new priesthood." It's power to control people's lives and make a shit load of money from their misery.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-29016229913248515192010-01-19T18:59:45.693-06:002010-01-19T18:59:45.693-06:00Rob:

The District Attorney & Sheriff of a county have the power to tell the state and federal authorities to keep out of their jurisdiction, but yet so many County District Attorneys & Sheriffs are afraid of losing money from the state & DC that they cower down to the powers that be. One DA in each state, The District Attorney of the county in which the state capital lies, has the power to prosecute corrupt state government officials who break the law.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-30164734477410151732010-01-19T14:46:56.801-06:002010-01-19T14:46:56.801-06:00It does not surprise me that Riley's anti gamb...It does not surprise me that Riley's anti gambling taskforce leader would be caught red handed in an Indian casino on the eve of a raid on Country Crossing. What was he doing there? Was he just having a good ole time gambling? Or was he meeting with the lobbyists for the Indians about Riley's quest to shut down Alabama gambling. Either way, thank god for Barbers "jackpot" and his corrupt ways being exposed. Now the people of this great state can finally see what is going on....I know we have mainly been like ostriches with our heads in the sand pretending not to see what is going on, but this is too blatant for you to ingnore. Even the staunchest Republican and Riley supporter must now see clear as day that Riley is corrupt and took money from the Indians.Michael Kneuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515397951956271975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-75684079960485481752010-01-19T03:36:52.626-06:002010-01-19T03:36:52.626-06:00Riley's Administration continues to fall apart...Riley's Administration continues to fall apart. First he gets rid of two of the best civil servants he ever had, Roger Shuler and Robby Scott Hill, among many others. Then, a rift develops between him and Troy King. That's followed by another rift between him and Bill Johnson. Both men were two of his staunchest supporters during the first term.<br />Now he's pissed off the Valeska brothers who were his prosecute anyone, go to guys in the Attorney General's Office. Bob Riley needs to pull down all the cash he can this year, because he will have a difficult time finding a job when he leaves office. It's not just civil servant dudes like us who tell it like it is. Bob Riley has a history of not working or playing well with his like minded conservative brothers either. Like Karl Rove, Riley will betray anyone for a dollar.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.com
