An investigator for the Yolo County District Attorney's office has resigned his position and retracted comments he made about his boss - District Attorney Jeff Reisig, according to a news release from the DA's office.
Reisig announced Tuesday that investigator Rick Gore had resigned his job with the district attorney's office. The resignation stems from a posting on The People's Vanguard of Davis blog of Gore's March 5, 2008 letter in which he made allegations of unethical practices and a hostile work environment in the district attorney's office, the release states.
Reisig denied the Gore's statements and on May 21, 2008, Yolo County released findings of an investigation in which it was determined that the allegations in Gore's letter were unsubstantiated, the release states.
In his retraction letter dated Monday and provided to The Bee by the DA's office, Gore apologizes to Reisig and the entire Yolo County District Attorney's office. He also retracts 12 allegations that he said are unfounded.
Among the retractions: "I was never ordered by DA Jeff Reisig to sign an untrue affidavit in support of a gang injunction. The allegation is unfounded and I retract it."
He also retracted an allegation that Reisig tried to hide evidence during a murder trial.
