Four of the five deputy commonwealth&#8217;s attorneys have resigned since Descano took office in 2020. Fox 5 confirmed with his office that at least 29 attorneys have left.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant commonwealth&#8217;s attorney Nathan Freier wrote the email following a repeat sex crime offender case in September. The Fairfax County judge overseeing the case said the victim had been molested twice because Descano&#8217;s office let the offender easy in a plea deal after the first incident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have reached the end of my mental rope handling this many serious sex cases with limited training and no idea how to handle them,&#8221; Freier wrote in the email after the case. &#8220;I fear that at best I&#8217;ll mess up one or more of these serious cases. At worst, I fear I&#8217;ll mess up in a way that will cause me to lose my license.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Descano told Fox 5 the implication that his office hasn&#8217;t rendered justice to victims &#8220;hurts me personally.&#8221; But in conversations with the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>, former members of Descano&#8217;s office said he has warned prosecutors not to trust victims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t listen to victims,&#8221; Descano said during one staff meeting on sex crime cases. &#8220;They&#8217;re overly dramatic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Freier graduated law school in 2018 and had only worked for two years as a prosecuting attorney in Danville, Va., before heading to the Fairfax County commonwealth&#8217;s attorney&#8217;s office. Descano maintained during the interview that Freier is &#8220;an experienced prosecutor,&#8221; but his office last month blamed Freier&#8217;s resignation for its failure to prosecute a case involving head trauma to a two-month-old baby.<\/p>\n<p>Members of Fairfax County law enforcement told Fox 5 the defendant had already confessed to the crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A George Soros-backed prosecutor in Virginia played dumb during a recent interview when asked why attorneys are leaving his office in droves, despite reports that his leadership has alienated staff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1421915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1421915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1421915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1421915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1421915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1421915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
