D.A. Resigns in Protest

Assistant District Attorney Lynn Peach, whose allegations of fraud against another prosecutor and a San Marcos police detective set off a firestorm, has resigned from her position.

Peach told The Mercury, “I have found that the profound philosophical differences that exist between office policy and myself is unworkable. Regardless of the circumstances or what happens in the future, I know that I did the right thing and will continue to do so.”

Mark Kennedy, the district attorney’s civil division chief, confirmed that Peach had resigned but declined further comment.

Standing up for principle -- you've got to admire that!

If those who are supposed to self-police, did just that, justice would have a chance to recover its dignity.

Hooray for Assistant DA Lynn Peach!
