Police Court reform order limits prosecutor in police cases
Commissioners appointed a rule requiring the assistant corporation counsel handling Police Court prosecutions to take every case into court for settlement unless a prima facie case is lacking and to report all nolle prosequi decisions. The rule bars collateral reductions by the prosecutor and keeps court functions separate from prosecutorial duties. The move, supported by Macfarland and Sinclair, awaits Prosecutor James H. Pugh Jr.’s return from vacation.
