Official Press Release
From the desk of Jennifer Clarkson:

For Immediate Release to the General Public:
Special Committee on Prosecutorial Investigations set to begin examination and exploration of concerns surrounding the District Attorney's office:

October 4th, 2021: A special committee on prosecutorial investigations has been formed by the Senate body in order to obtain an unbiased and fair understanding of the current concerns revolving around the District Attorney's Office.

The Senate is aware of the growing concern around the District attorney’s office, having been notified by constituents and other members of local and State Government. The Senate body is also conscious of the petition for the resignation of the incumbent District Attorney Melanie Cromwell that contains over one hundred signatures. Official sources confirm that five senators have signed this position and are recused from this committee to ensure a fair and unbiased investigation into this topic.

The special committee on prosecutorial investigations shall dissolve November 1, 2021 unless it is renewed by the San Andreas State Senate. The membership of this committee consists of: Senator Adrian Rossi, Senator Edward Ulf, Democratic Leader Diana Jones, and President Pro Tempore Noah Wade. Furthermore the San Andreas Attorney General, State Attorney, and President of the Senate shall be members of said committee. The committee is mandated to submit all of its findings without bias so that the President of the Senate or President Pro Tempore may release a notice on behalf of the San Andreas state legislation.

President Pro Tempore Noah Wade has released an official statement: “As Senators, we have sworn to protect our great State and to serve its people. With the formation of the latest Special Committee on Prosecutorial Investigations, we aim to create an unbiased investigation surrounding the rising public complaints against the District Attorney’s Office. While everyone has the right to sign any petition on their own, the assembly membership is restricted to only those who have refrained from doing so in order to appropriately, fairly, and justly execute the duties of this committee. This was a measure deployed to prevent a possibility of bias during the investigation. As the Chairman of the Special Committee on Prosecutorial Investigations, I will be delivering a final public remark prior to the dissolution of the committee, which will address the findings. I strongly encourage any person who has a legitimate complaint regarding the conduct of the District Attorney’s office to reach out to my office, so that your voice may be heard.”
