HORNE: ROTELLINI HAS NEVER TRIED A CASE IN HER ENTIRE LIFE




HORNE: ROTELLINI HAS NEVER TRIED A CASE IN HER ENTIRE LIFE

PHOENIX— Republican Attorney General nominee Tom Horne today released a study demonstrating that Democrat Felecia Rotelinni, who touts herself as a “veteran prosecutor,” has in fact never tried a case in her entire life.

In January 1991 Horne was admitted to the American Board of Trial Advocates, which included the following requirement: that he has tried at least 25 cases as the lead lawyer to a jury to conclusion.

During the KAET Channel 8 debate last Wednesday, Horne suggested that Rotelinni, by contrast, had few, if any, jury trials. Rotelinni did not respond.

The Arizona Republic did a Fact Check, and obtained information from Rotelinni about her legal experience, which the Republic posted on its website. Rotelinni cited eight cases. Volunteers for Horne then researched each of those eight cases, and it turned out that Rotelinni did not proceed to trial on any one of the eight cases, and turned five of the six criminal cases over to another lawyer before they even
went to a guilty plea.


Attached is the documentation as to each of the eight cases cited by Rotelinni.
