Fired workers spark outrage in Taos district
Shawn Boyne, assistant district attorney, fired June 27, and Candace Allen, domestic violence case manager, fired June 30, ignite outrage among therapists, victims, and agencies who say the move shakes confidence in the courts. Allen was dismissed for wearing a nose ring against district judge Caldwell's orders. Boyne's firing cited in a memo but with less clarity. A July 3 emergency CPT meeting condemned the dismissal and questioned the DA's office commitment to domestic violence and child abuse cases.
