thinking she’s simply lazy or an empty suit. Apparently over 500 claims never answered or looked into of clergy abuse. Sounds like she’s a champion of the gridiron prosecutor on offense all the time.
There is some nuance there since the statue of limitations had passed, and the supreme court had just blocked states from modifying their laws to extend the statue of limitations. There was no criminal case should could bring by the time she got the job. The only outcome would have been civil cases (not by her office) in which you would need the victim to come forward hence her response about protecting victims.
She could have gone after a cover up by the church as a crime (which is what Shapiro did in PA) but I'm not sure if the same fact pattern existed.
I think I would tend to want all of the names out in public, but I'm not sure it's that easy when considering protecting victims and due process for those accused.
