Abstract:
Durham’s district attorney’s office is suffering from a lack of policy or procedure and it is having negative effects on the community. Irvin Broussard was forced to spend an extra two months in jail after his conviction was overturned because Durham prosecutor Stormy Ellis forgot about his case. Ellis admitted to the error and claimed she had no organized system for tracking cases. Errors by the district attorney’s office are not uncommon but are worrisome for residents, judges, and lawyers.
