Legislator Harris asked how the last week has gone. District
Attorney Keith Slep stated that this was the worst week of his professional
career and it is not getting any better. Mr. Harris asked if Mr. Slep could
explain his statement. Mr. Slep stated that this is a task that cannot be
fulfilled by his department because their hands are tied. Mr. Harris went on to
ask if there were arrests made due to the short-term discovery. Mr. Slep stated
that it was too soon for this to take place and that it would probably be a few
months down the road. Mr. Harris asked how the software process was going and
have the errors smoothed out. Mr. Slep stated that the system crashed on the
first day and now there are several encrypted files. Legislator Harris also
asked what would be the best way that our County can proactively track these
cases. Mr. Slep stated that he felt it would be difficult as there are
different statistics kept by different agencies and this would make it
difficult to track.
