FYI, the actual story (kind of hidden because it's linked to the single word "investigate"), is here:<p><a href="http://www.wbur.org/2013/02/20/carmen-ortiz-investigation" rel="nofollow">http://www.wbur.org/2013/02/20/carmen-ortiz-investigation</a><p>Not a full transcript, but a long form article on Ortiz's history.<p>edit: A key passage that will interest some here, particularly the ones who believe that assistant DA Stephen Heynmann is the one to blame:<p>> <i>A former federal prosecutor who worked alongside Ortiz for several years and did not want to be identified for fear of reprisal said Miner’s assessment is spot on.<p>“She is totally hands off and defers to her staffers more than any other U.S. attorney I have seen,” the lawyer said of Ortiz. “There are some [AUSAs] who have been in the office for a long time who have developed these little fiefdoms and are basically able to push her around. That’s just wrong for a whole host of reasons.”<p>One of those reasons, according to Miner, is that line prosecutors have an incentive to return indictments to keep their numbers up and often lack perspective when assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their own cases. It is the job of the U.S. attorney and her hand-picked supervisors to question the decisions of the AUSAs and to set the tone for the office.</i>
