Republican prosecutor in Arizona takes swipe at New York district attorney prosecuting Trump
The Republican prosecutor of Arizona’s most populous county took a thinly veiled swipe at a Democratic counterpart in the East on Wednesday, saying she would not agree to extradition of a suspect in the death of a woman who was fatally bludgeoned in a New York City hotel room, and that he should be tried first in Arizona for stabbing two women here.
Raad Almansoori, 26, is being held without bond while Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell’s office decides how to charge him in connection with the stabbing of two women in the county in recent days, Mitchell said at a news conference. Those two women survived.
“Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody,” said Mitchell, referring to the prosecutor who brought the high-profile case against former President Donald Trump alleging that hush money was paid during his 2016 campaign to cover up an affair.
In Maricopa County Superior Court, Almansoori's case number is CR2024-108082-001. This is not his first encounter with the justice system.
Mitchell absolutely *hates* violent criminals...unless they're well-connected.

Maricopa County attorney didn't charge former prisons director with aggravated assault. Here's why
After an armed standoff with police at his Tempe home, the former director of the state Department of Corrections was not charged with aggravated assault.
The Maricopa County attorney has kept a promise to explain that decision.
Tempe police said Charles Ryan pointed a gun at officers during a standoff at his home in 2022.

Mitchell decided, based on a trove of body camera footage, Ryan’s medical records, and talks with Tempe police leaders, that prosecutors could not prove Ryan intended to make officers fear for their lives.
Ryan pleaded no contest to a gun charge, which prosecutors wanted labeled a felony.
In Maricopa County Superior Court, Ryan's case number was CR2022-001491-001.
Mitchell has a history of carrying Cheeto's water.

Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell says she wouldn’t charge Kavanaugh
The sex crimes prosecutor who questioned a California women accusing Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault is explaining why she would not bring criminal charges against the Supreme Court nominee.
Rachel Mitchell writes in a new memo sent to Senate Republicans that she does not believe a “reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee.”
Mitchell is a Phoenix-based sex crimes prosecutor Republicans hired to question Christine Blasey Ford about her claims against Kavanaugh during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week. Mitchell argues that that there are inconsistencies in Ford’s narrative and says no one has corroborated her account.
So...do they teach shameless hypocrisy in law school or was that already part of Mitchell's personality before her training?
