McHugh Defends Brannon Case Action

At Stebbijo’s Place, the blogger has posted a response from Prosecutor Barry McHugh (pictured) re: Jim Brannon’s lawsuit to overthrow his 5-vote loss to incumbent Mike Kennedy. Stebbijo explains that she wrote an e-mail to McHugh to “restore integrity to our local government.” McHugh’s response is worth reading here. Stebbijo dismisses it as “coined.” But you will see that the prosecutor spells out his technical reasons for resisting Brannon’s request to produce 48 different kinds of documentation. Also, you’ll see that he’s squarely in the corner of Civil Deputy Prosecutor John Cafferty, who used the term “witch hunt” to describe the requested documentation.
