How is a 20 person drug court going to get that mountain of drug cases off of his desk? Why is it that Greg Gambril is limiting our drug court to 20 people when no other county around us has a limit on the number of participants? Who determines which 20 get the spots and how do we safe guard that process from political favoritism by Greg Gambril? Why is it that we've waited all these years for drug court funding when Escambia County began there drug court with no money and resources from various courthouse offices that were already in place? Is the objective in Covington County to help people or to "get funding" for the DA's Office?
Also, on checking the archives in the Andalusia Star News (on this website) I see that Ben Bowden helped prosecute Henderson and Phillips and Walt Merrell helped prosecute Doster-not to mention the fact that the last of these cases was tried 2 years ago.
We need someone as DA who cares more about the problem than they do about getting elected.
