In-depth coverage of this case with court documents and commentary can be found at Connecticut Carry. CTCarry has my profound gratitude for their active interest in this case.
Attorney Rachel Baird received a reply to her request for inquiry into potential violations of Rule 3.1 of the Professional Rules of Conduct to Kevin T. Kane, Chief State's Attorney, of July 16, 2012. The response was from Attorney David I. Cohen, the State's Attorney for the Stamford-Norwalk area. Attorney Cohen professes bafflement that a "...defense attorney would complain when charges against a client are reduced to an infraction."
No matter; if Attorney Baird's reply to Attorney Cohen didn't clarify the prosecutorial misconduct enough for him, the federal suit against Norwalk for False Arrest and Illegal Search and Seizure will spell it out in even more painstaking detail. Anyone who has been following this case, either here or at Connecticut Carry, is well aware of the prosecutor's shennanigans over the course of the sixteen month course of it. Be aware that Attorney Cohen no doubt knows that he's got some egg on his face, as he is in fact responsible for the current constitution of the prosecution team at GA-20. Attorney Cohen should also know that we will not allow this request for inquiry to be brushed under the rug so easily.
