As we’ve blogged, Michael Hash had his conviction overturned by a federal judge last week, thanks to the great work of the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project and others. The federal judge found egregious police and prosecutorial misconduct. Now, the prosecutor involved in the case has resigned as a result of the revelations. Details here.

Yay !!!
Ohio has an option of “resignation with discipline pending”.
It’s sad that Mr. Close’s resignation was not that type.
So does this mean all his cases will have to be looked at again? I figure if he knowingly screwed one then he may have screwed many. By the way this just made my day to see they all are not getting by with this kind of stuff.
