County attorney debate over DWI and domestic violence prosecutions
Bright defends high conviction rates and broad reach across four justice courts and an appellate court while Linch criticizes her handling of domestic violence and DWI cases. Linch accuses Bright of not prosecuting class A misdemeanors unless medical treatment is sought, a claim Bright disputes. Bright cites 3121 DWI cases since 2001 with 20 going to trial and a high plea bargain rate, and says domestic violence cases are a minority of the workload. Linch emphasizes strong prosecution as a core quality of life issue and frames misdemeanors as steps to prevent larger crimes.
