The reputation of the Kootenai County prosecutor's office has been damaged beyond repair by the controversies. As long as Douglas continues as the elected office administrator, it won't recover. Douglas should have resigned when Baughman's illicit e-mail scandal overwhelmed the office. He was responsible for promoting Baughman and for modeling questionable conduct with his own e-mail controversy. Now, he must accept responsibility for courtroom shortcomings by his office that prompted the appeals court to overturn the 2004 conviction of a man who allegedly threatened a woman with a pickax. Again, it's time for Douglas to go -- D.F. Oliveria/Spokesman-Review.

Question: Agree? Disagree?
