Detective and prosecutor's office should be investigated

I would like to know if any state or federal agency is investigating Detective Bob Perez and the office of the prosecutor in Wenatchee for violating people's civil rights. It not, why not?

As the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against King County prosecutors in a Burien case just recently, what is stopping the victims from filing a class-action or individual lawsuits against the county, state and Bob Perez for fabrication of evidence for the purpose of violating their civil rights as protected in the U.S. Constitution?

Why has the state attorney general's office failed to seek a special out-of-state prosecutor to get to the bottom of this mess?

Why has the county failed to fire a man pretending to be a detective? What do we know about his background, from childhood to adult?

Can't the state attorney general go to court to have all the people released until the whole mess is investigated and cleared up? Can't the ACLU go to federal court to have all the convictions suspended or vacated so that the people in prison could get out until the state completes an investigation to determine if there was any crime?

I believe the state, especially the attorney general's office, has a legal obligation to these people and they need to get off their backsides and go do the job they get paid for.

Failure to do so would undermine the total justice system in this state.
