Maricopa County (AZ) prosecutor Juan Martinez, noted for his brazen misconduct during the Jodi Arias trial, has now been put on administrative leave:
Martinez has faced years of sexual harassment and misconduct allegations.
“On Friday, Feb. 7, 2020, Juan Martinez was placed on paid administrative leave. We currently have no further comment on this personnel matter at this time,” according to a statement released by the office.
Martinez became a household name when he prosecuted Jodi Arias, who was convicted of killing Travis Alexander in his Mesa home in 2008. Besides Arias, Martinez has prosecuted numerous other high-profile cases. He’s worked for the county for decades.
The announcement comes a few days after the State Bar of Arizona accused Presiding Disciplinary Judge William J. O’Neil of abuse of power because O’Neil decided Martinez would not face ethics charges for sexual harassment allegations by several women at the County Attorney’s Office.

A vote for Sanders is basically a vote for another Trump term.
Sanders is the only clear non-starter. It’s impossible not to regard the Vermont senator in a Trumplike mold—he seldom has shown an ability to build consensus and threatens to use executive orders extensively, just like Trump. It’s also doubtful he could assemble a highly qualified Cabinet, meaning he’d essentially be the left wing version of Trump: isolated, angry, unable to work with others and showing too little respect for dissenting opinions. A Sanders candidacy simply guarantees a Trump second term.
