Reason for Appropriation/Extension
On December 20, 2012 the Court of Appeals, Division € €, remanded a doukk hamkidt east 10 Superior Court tot reiriai which
was originally set to begin May 20. 2013. Between them both attorneys handle all of the felony caseload, but, due to the
severity and complexity of the homicide case both Prosecutor Rosekrans and DPA Ashcraft needed to work exclusively on the
homielde. Therefore, with approval from the BOCC, a Special'RPA was brought in for an estimated 6 weeks 'tohandle all of
the felony cases to free up Rosekrans and Ashcroft to work on the homicide during that time. However, when the trial was
reset to July 8, 2913 the Spatial Deputy was kept on while work continued on the homicide. Once the trial was well underway a'
juror unexpectedly cane forward as a possible witness for the State resulting in a mistrial being called. The Special Deputy was
released at that time. The cost of the Special Deputy was S32;88937 in salary and benefits.
