Continuing to goad district attorneys around the state by sending critical news releases naming individual DA’s who took a public stance opposing King on the Robbie Owens issue, well, it simply does not feel politically astute.

Will see a source tomorrow and ask for a memory refresh--no mention of the AG in that one. What was it that lost the election for Tyson? He was obviously more experienced, competent and forward thinking--that program to intervene early and keep kids from the jail track. King just kept preaching law-and-order. What's in his background that makes the AG so super punishmen- tarian?
