What would you do to change the public’s perception of the
District Attorney’s Office?
Karyn Sinunu
Chief Assistant District Attorney:
“I will have a Community Advisory Board which will meet quarterly with me. This group will include leaders from the diverse groups in the county. I will listen to their concerns and in turn share mine.”
Jim Shore
Deputy District Attorney:
“We can all agree that the best place to protect the innocent is at the front end of the system, to make sure that only the guilty are charged and convicted. As district attorney, I will take immediate action to create an office culture where justice is always the first priority.”
Judge Dolores Carr
Superior Court Judge:
“Maintain a trial culture without focusing exclusively on attorneys’ won-loss records. My managers will teach skills and evaluate prosecutors rigorously. Results will still matter, but if we emphasize good technique and sound judgment, the results will follow.”
Marc Buller
Assistant District Attorney:
“Any change within the District Attorney’s Office needs to be systematic and not reactionary. Internally, I would increase training for our attorneys and supervision of all phases of prosecution. I then would turn to community outreach through our Community Prosecution unit which I founded in 1996.”
