John Holcomb defends long hours and hard work as reasons to reelect him as Butler County prosecutor. He cites 18 hour days during the Ruppert murder case and 12 other murder prosecutions since 1972, plus duties on budget, juvenile court, and welfare counsel. A 18,000 salary frames his part time practice while he upholds vigorous prosecution within legal limits.
