Agent 050 on District Attorney Power
In Wake County, why would Brad Cooper be charged, but not Jason Young? In Durham County, why would Michael Peterson be charged, but not Raven Abaroa? In Granville County, why has Kelly Morris's husband not been charged? A simplified answer: The District Attorneys are demanding more evidence in those cases. A well-respected district attorney once told me: "Prosecutors are the most powerful people in the system. By signing my name, I can dismiss a first-degree murder charge, or I can send the chargeto the grand jury." The prosecutors, that Agent 050 knows, understand their power and anticipate attacks from the defense. Agent 050 also knows when those District Attorneys finally move forward, they will be confident of convictions. For any smug, narcissistic suspect who thinks he's gotten away with murder, Agent 050 advises you not to get too comfortable.
