Reno debates value of indicting officials before acquittal
Attorney General Janet Reno questioned the deterrent effect of indicting public officials who are later acquitted, citing the Espy case. She urged a defined budget for independent counsels and noted the principle of innocence until proven guilty, while acknowledging the outside prosecutors’ expansive resources. The Smaltz remark followed Espy’s four year, 17 million probe and subsequent acquittals. Independent counsels are appointed by the attorney general and chosen by a special court when enough evidence warrants a full investigation of top officials.
