REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Career Criminal Prosecution Project handles felony cases committee by professional criminals who
have made careers out of crime. Repeat offenders who commit serious crimes such as robbery, burglary,
and grand theft are being prosecuted by this unit. The legislation for the program requires the District
Attorney's Office to use experienced felony trial deputies who are assigned reduced caseloads and who
are required to handle the case on a vertical prosecution basis from the time of arraignment continuing
through final sentencing in Superior Court. Continued funding of this grant by the State is contingent
upon the County prosecuting these cases as provided within the statutes.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the recommendation will result in the inability of the District Attorney to apply for
the State funds which may be available to prosecute repeat offender who commit serious crimes such
as robbery, burglary and grand theft.
