Update: Case against Mahopac educators still uncertain
-

Tonight there will be a conference meeting between the Putnam County District Attorney’s Office and the four educators from the Mahopac Bridge Program charged with child endangerment. (Click here for some of the back story.)
While the case initially was scheduled to go to trial in November, the election of new District Attorney Adam Levy, well, complicated things. You see, he was a partner at in the firm representing one of the defendants, Lorrie Reynolds, and so when he came into office, he was conflicted out of the case.
Two options now being debated are whether to send the case to another county or hire a special prosecutor to argue the case.
Kimberly A. Einzig, an attorney representing defendant Tammy Card, said the issue is still “a little unclear” because this sort of thing doesn’t happen too often. She hopes a decision will be announced tonight, although it is still uncertain as to what will actually happen.
“Tonight’s a check to see where the DA’s office stands,” she said this morning.
Needless to say, stay tuned to the Hall Monitor for updates. Thanks.
