Carmen: THE BUDGET BATTLE BETWEEN PROSECUTOR KYM WORTHY AND WAYNE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROBERT FICANO CONTINUES, AND IT'S GETTING UGLY. WORTHY SAID SOON IMPORTANT CASES THAT IMPACT PUBLIC SAFETY WILL SUFFER. SHE LAID OUT HER OWN CASE AND OUR SHAWN LEY WAS THERE. Shawn: THREE WAYNE COUNTY COURTROOMS DO NOT HAVE PROSECUTORS SHOWING UP IN THEM TODAY. PROSECUTOR KYM WORTHY SAYING SHE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE THE PEOPLE. THERE ARE EMPTY CHAIRS AT PROSECUTORS CHAIRS INSIDE 36th DISTRICT COURT'S MISDEMEANOR COURTROOM. AND PROSECUTORS WERE NO-SHOWS AT TRAFFIC COURT AND THE DIVISION WHEN PERSON PROTECTION ORDERS ARE ISSUED. JUDGES ARE DROPPING CASES, BUT THIS ISN'T HAVING A HUGE IMPACT... YET. WALKING INTO A COURTROOM AND NOT NECESSARILY SEEING A PROSECUTOR ISN'T SURPRISE. MY ASSUMPTION IS, IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF A BUDGETARY ISSUE WITH GETTING THE SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF PROSECUTORS IN THE COURTROOM, THE WAYNE COUNTY PROSECUTOR WOULD PRIORITIZE THE CASES. Shawn: KYM WORTHY IS IN A BUDGET BATTLE WITH ROBERT FICANO AND SAID IT'S NOT PERSONAL BUT YOU BE THE JUDGE HOW UGLY IT'S GETTING. A VIDEO PRESENTATION HIGHLIGHTING EVERY NEGATIVE HEADLINE FOCUSING ON ROBERT FICANO FROM THIS PAST YEAR. I DON'T THINK IT'S PERSONAL. IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO HASN'T PROPERLY MANAGED AND TAKE IT OUT ON SOMEONE WHO HAS PROPERLY MANAGED. Shawn: SHE SAID SHE CAN'T RISK DISMISSALS OF FELONY CASES LIKE HOMICIDES IN CIRCUIT COURT, SO SHE SAYS IMPORTANT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES MAY BE NEXT TO BE NEGLECTED. I DON'T HAVE THE PEOPLE. I HAVE TO COVER THE VIOLENT CRIMES FIRST. I HAVE TO COVER THE CASES THAT ARE ALREADY IN TRIAL. I HAVE TO COVER THE PRE-TRIAL WORK. I HAVE TO COVER THE CASES ALREADY IN THE SYSTEM FIRST. Shawn: TODAY, A NUMBER OF CASES WERE DISMISSED BECAUSE PROSECUTORS DIDN'T SHOW. WORTHY SAYS ONCE THEY GET BACK UP TO SPEED WITH THOSE CASES, THEY'LL REISSUE THE CHARGES.
