Who’s got Ronnie Earle’s back?

Ronnie Earle is no partisan witch-hunter. Who’s going to say so loudly enough for the media to hear?

Is anyone rallying the law enforcement folks behind Ronnie Earle?

I’ve only met him at a few conferences, but I know his reputation, and he rates about as high on professionalism as any D.A. in the country. But that doesn’t mean that Earle won’t get spattered by the current slime-and-defend if people don’t speak out for him.
