<DIV><SPAN class=036564621-07072010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good Afternoon: A
couple of questions for you, PLEASE. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=036564621-07072010><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=036564621-07072010><FONT face=Arial size=2>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? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=036564621-07072010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for taking
the time to answer,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
