Letter: Re: the April 27. article “Local opinion: I worked for LaWall, I stand with Conover”

I worked with County Attorney aspirant Jette at AZ Attorney General for five years. I have never met Conover. Mr. Jette looks good on paper. He has substantial experience as a prosecutor, and also has an MBA. His work with which I am familiar is best exemplified by his recent prosecution of a southern AZ rancher . It was a big budget production that captivated the media and resulted in a hung jury with only one juror holding out for guilty. A properly seasoned prosecutor should have known better than to proceed. There is a traditional not so subtle enmity between prosecutors and defense attorneys. Mr Jette's backround is prosecutor, while Ms. Conover was a defense attorney. I like the perspective that a defense attorney can bring to the state of affairs left behind by the last County Attorney, who stayed a few terms too long. I believe that many of Conover's problems stem from this enmity, and hopefully by now she has weeded the resistance. Conover for a second term.
