[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love to see a post from someone who works at the USAO.  Graves is not a screaming liberal, at least from his bio.  I guess I overlapped with him at law school but don’t remember him at all.  
I agree many of the judges are PDS alums, but not all.  [/quote]

The no paper rate began to rise in 2017, this isn't about Graves per se. Although he has been somewhat duplicitous in reporting slight improvements for media events only for the no paper rate to drop again immediately. And even the improvements are outliers re: other D cities by orders of magnitude. Graves is reliant on career staff and a large number of staff who are detailed for 1 year from other agencies and who have no trial experience. So those that do hold a lot of sway.

The story goes around that there was a cohort of old timers who aggressively prosecuted even marginal cases, who all retired around the same time. The office culture changed significantly.
