County charges Assault IV, Menacing, and Strangulation with the DV language, and
sporadically other degrees of Assault – but I have been wondering whether that
is kosher as well. It seems a little redundant since any other degree would be a
felony and therefore the Brady restriction is somewhat meaningless since they
are already a felon and can’t have firearms.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'"> Our
county hasn’t had a DA investigator for a long time – so not a result of the
recent recession. We also used to have some dedicated DV officers but those were
also cut before the recent recession. The direct effect that I can see is
in reduced law enforcement funding so they have less time to investigation DV
cases – especially misd – so more cases end up not getting filed or
dismissed. In the past out office has had to decline some prosecutions
(though not specifically DV cases) due to a lack of resources in our office –
but that has not been as much of an issue in the last 2 years. It may
become an issue when funding is renegotiated in another 2
years.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">The
economy also hits the DV advocate organizations which cuts back their number of
employees so the remaining ones have more burn out. We also see it in our
Batterer Intervention Programs because when the batterer’s don’t have jobs they
can’t pay for classes. I know that is something probation continues to struggle
with.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

couple of questions for you, PLEASE. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">1) A local DDA has
asked what counties/DAs offices are doing in regards to using the
"Constituting Domestic Violence" language (as set forth in ORS 132.586) for
degrees of Assault OTHER than Assault IV (misdo or felony Assault IV). As you
all know, ORS 132.586 allows us to add the "CDV" language to specific crimes.
The specific crimes as outlined in THAT statute are Assault IV and Menacing. Do
you add that language to other levels of Assault? Do you add it to
Strangulation? </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">2) I have received an
inquiry about how, if at all, the economy has affected allocation of funds for
investigation/prosecution of DV/Sexual Assault cases. Have positions been lost?
Are you not prosecuting cases that otherwise would have been prosecuted? Did
your office at one time have an advocate/investigator/specialized prosecutor
that has been lost due to budget cutbacks? </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
