Central Illinois grapples with prosecutor shortage – Herald & Review (Decatur)

The shortage is not universal; several counties in the region, including DeWitt, said they were fully staffed. But for those who are affected, it comes as prosecutors across the state are preparing for significant potential changes under the Pretrial Fairness Act, a component of the broader criminal justice reform legislation known as the SAFE-T Act.

The dearth of rural prosecutors is just another symptom of IL’s slow demise. Springfield wants all of the deplorables to die of opioid deaths or leave the state, and now the only people remaining in rural areas are farmers, tweakers and state employees. What a shame.
