“The courts have been clear that Debra’s constitutional rights were violated. The decision by Bill Montgomery to re-try her is an extreme example of misuse of prosecutorial power in an apparent attempt to cover for the illegal use of such power by the County Attorney’s office during the 1990 trial. The taxpayers of Maricopa County should not again be asked to subsidize the political agenda and personal ambitions of an elected official, as was done for former County Attorney Thomas and Sheriff Arpaio.”
