In the lawyerly equivalent to a slap in the face, Multnomah County prosecutors will no longer argue serious criminal cases in the courtroom of Circuit Judge Adrian Brown.
I’m now very curious as to Judge Brown’s legal history, particularly judicial opinions.
She earned endorsements from Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, former state senator Avel Gordly, and Portland city councilors Jo Ann Hardesty and Amanda Fritz.
I’d have voted against her just on the basis these endorsements.

There doesn’t seem to be much detail on why the DA took this step. I wonder if we’ll hear more.
