Mr. David Childs • <br /> February 24, 1983 <br /> Page Two <br /> We propose that Scott Richter be appointed prosecuting <br /> attorney for the City of St . Anthony. Scott is a recent graduate <br /> of the Stanford Law School, wher he specialized in criminal pro- <br /> cedure issues and particularly i:. sues of search and seizure. We <br /> would like to emphasize, however, that if the City does retain him <br /> as its prosecuting attorney it would be retaining our entire law <br /> firm, including many attorneys who have substantial experience with <br /> police departments and police issues . <br /> Desyl Peterson is the prosecu .or for Mound, Minnetrista and <br /> St. Bonifacius and is the law firm partner with supervising respon- <br /> sibility for prosecutions . She has :)een a prosecutor with this <br /> firm for the past 3-1/2 years . Tom Radio is the prosecuting attor- <br /> ney for the City of Orono, having recently assumed those duties from <br /> Ms. Peterson. Both of these individuals would occasionally handle <br /> some St. Anthony matters in Scott Richter' s absence. Frederick <br /> Brown was prosecutor for the City of Orono for six years and also <br /> a special prosecutor for the City of Minneapolis. Janie 2--iayeron • <br /> was the prosecutor for Golden Valley for three years prior to <br /> joining our firm. Clifford Greene has an expertise in the area <br /> of police civil liability and* has given numerous lectures on that ' <br /> subject. All of their services are available for the effective <br /> representation of your City. <br /> If this office is selected to represent the City of St. <br /> Anthony, it is proposed that Scott Richter will serve :as lead pro- <br /> secuting attorney for a term of at least three years. Our exper- <br /> ience indicates that his tenure is likely to be even longer than <br /> that, and, of course, any changes in the representation would <br /> occur only in consultation with the City. <br /> Availability <br /> Popham, Haik' s offices are located in downtown Minneapolis, <br /> near the Courthouse where arraignments take place, and only a 20 <br /> minute drive from the St. Anthony police department offices. Geo- <br /> graphical location should pose no problems for this firm in pro- <br /> viding effective services for the City. It should be noted that <br /> the firm will not charge for any transportation time between its <br /> office and the court or� the police department. 1 <br /> • <br />
