The sheer incompetence from both Ebert AND some of his staff that I and others have experienced is just staggering. Truly, a ham sandwich could have done just as good a job.

Ray Morrogh got elected to replace Horan last November. The prosecutors that have worked under Ebert and Horan have gotten on the job training that most could only dream of. I think either Dixon or Conway would be a fine replacement, and I don't think too many would argue with that. There's one thing that seems to get lost in the conversation here of the CA's office, and that is the fact they know what will fly with each of these judges and what won't. The other thing is the CA's office has to work with the information provided to them from the investigators. Batson,

I think that Ebert has done a very good job as CA for PWC. From what I have been told, his office is non-partisan, with Republicans and Democrats holding all manner of senior positions. The office's conviction record is very impressive. Does Ebert come across as a "good ole sourthern boy" sometimes? Sure. Does he have his detractors? Yes. You cannot serve as long as he has and not have made a few enemies. The citizens seem pretty satisfied with him. I wouldn't be surprised if Dixon or Conway weren't "annointed" to succeed him. Either one would be a good CA to replace him. Until that time, I know that the CA's office under Ebert will continue to do a good job for the citizens of PWC.

The only reason you're blogging so smuggly is that you hav'nt had the unfortunate experience of crossing him (Ebert). You wouldnt have to be guilty of anything. Simply be inconvenient for him. Greg knows much more than he discusses on this blog. Not only are you blind to the dangers he and his family might face for even discussing some of these subjects, you mock him for his effort. Ebert has the power to take your property, liberty, and your life. I, for one, respect him for standing... and editing out any trash that implies he should be frightened for doing so.

This was truly one of a kind. I had just drove by the drop off point that morning when I heard about on the way to work. This story did not help my morning sickness let me tell ya. Young Ebert(son) was just that YOUNG and DRUNK! I was around here back in the day. This cop a bad reputation. Not only that he was off duty working as a bouncer. Maybe, you should ask Glendell about the cop. I think he was still a cop then. I'm not 100% certain. I'm not saying Ebert's son shouldn't have been prosecuted however, he did egg the "bouncer" on. They were BOTH very much in the WRONG. GregL,

The guy who gets convicted violent felons out of prison early without notifying their victims so they can play with the undercover cops. The guy who may well be getting official court records improperly altered in order to support this little group of criminal rogues he has running around doing his dirty work with the help of corrupt police officers. The guy who made sure his son got special treatment after he assaulted a police officer and put him in the hospital for a month. The guy who exacts long-term professional revenge against anyone who dares run against him. Oh yeah, we're mighty proud of Paul Ebert.
