The time line looked close and it seemed out of character for a former DA to make a decision that rashly but it is curious. Just a coincidence I guess. Let’s see how long it takes Delahunt to say anything of substance. The longer it takes, the more likely he’s getting his story straight and did cut Amy Bishop loose for a reason that had nothing to do with the facts of what she did.
Delahunt almost lost reelection a few years after that because he was involved in releasing from jail a murderer who then went on and murdered another person.
