Maricopa County Attorney’s Office cited in DOJ report

The Department of Justice discussed how police and prosecutors came to invent a gang and falsely charge protesters as members. A breakout section titled ‘The Genesis of the Gang Charges,” covers MCAO’s role in the scandal and how a prosecutor lost her law license. County Attorney Rachel Mitchell called the section about her office a “lie” at a press conference hosted by police union leaders. However, Mitchell said several things about the DOJ’s report that were misleading and not true.
