Bob:
Me, too. I'm not sure exactly what recent-entry-to-the-forum, John G., is complaining about. First he screws up his facts about the SAO hierarchy, putting Marcille answering to Anchors (actually, Marcille is closer to the top than anyone except the elected SAO, Bill Eddins), now he is complaining about the Sheriff not making a knee-jerk decision on the complaint. (Btw, sex offenders are required to register with the local sheriff and MUST change their D/L within 10 days of moving. This is strictly enforced, as you might have guessed with convicted sex offenders. Another mistake.)
Misty also seems concerned that this was not handled at the Sheriff's Dept. As the prosecuting authority, the SAO is in a much better position to research the applicable law and determine whether it should be prosecuted. They did the investigation (along with the WCSD), researched the law and decided they couldn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Isn't that the way it's supposed to work? I don't understand the complaints.
