WE'LL SEE IF THE BIG FLASH IN THE SKY CAN WARM THINGS UP. Devin: FEELING THE FALLOUT FROM BUDGET CUTS. WAYNE COUNTY COURTS ARE STARTING TO SEE THE IMPACT THAT AFFECTS A LOT OF PEOPLE. HANK WINCHESTER IS LIVE TO TELL US WHAT IT MEANS. Hank: THIS COULD GET UGLY AND MESSY. HERE'S WHY, NOT ONLY WILL IT EFFECT FRANK MURPHY HALL OF JUSTICE AND 36th, BECAUSE THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE WILL TELL YOU THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH EMPLOYEES TO HANDLE THE CASELOAD. ANOTHER ISSUE, A BIG POLITICAL BATTLE, ONE BETWEEN ROBERT FICANO AND KYM WORTHY, AND IT'S GETTING UGLY. CHAOS COULD HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A BUDGET BATTLE BETWEEN WAYNE COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROBERT FICANO AND PROSECUTOR KYM WORTHY. ARE YOU CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE CUTS, IT COULD BE A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE? THEY'RE SAYING THERE AREN'T ENOUGH TO PROSECUTE THE CASES. AT THIS POINT, I THINK IT'S A SCARE TACTIC. Hank: 26 EMPLOYEES AT THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE LAID OFF, INCLUDING 22 ATTORNEYS, 3 INVESTIGATORS AND 1 CLERICAL POSITION. IT MEANS THERE ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO HANDLE ALL THE CASELOADS ACCORDING TO THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE. HERE'S LEGAL EXPERT TODD FLOOD. THE BIGGEST LOSER IS THE CITIZENS. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, YOU HAVE CASES THAT NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND PROSECUTED THAT ARE SITTING IN THE BACKLOG. Hank: COURTROOM INSIDERS TELLING THE "DEFENDERS" THEY'RE CONCERNED AND HERE'S WHY: THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO HANDLE CASES REGARDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND EVEN TRAFFIC COURT DOCKETS COULD BE LOST. WE'RE MAKING CUTS IN THE BUDGET. Hank: AND WITH FICANO COMING UNDER FIRE FOR SPENDING MORE CASH, USING THAT MONEY FOR HIS PERSONAL PROTECTION. PEOPLE WILL SEE SOMEONE MAKING MORE THAN $100,000 IN THIS POSITION, HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THAT? AND YOU'LL HEAR WHAT THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE HAS TO SAY, NEW TONIGHT AT 6:00. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A POSITION HE WANTS TO BRING ON A RETIREE WHO ALREADY HAS A PENSION WORTH MORE THAN $100,000 A YEAR AND COULD MAKE AN EXTRA $55,000 A YEAR. HOW WILL HE DEFEND THIS ONE?
