Opinion columnist elviadiaz1: There are options to force out Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel, if she won't quit
1. Ask voters to recall her
The effort is worth it, but what if no one has the money or energy to take on such a task? Plus, the clock is ticking and the damage she’s inflicting can’t be ignored.A second option is little known, but as The Arizona Republic has reported, theat best. Technically, a state or county grand jury could be convened, which in turn could launch an investigation into accusations and determine whether to remove her.
. That would automatically mean she could not continue as county attorney because she needs to be licensed and in good standing with the Arizona State Bar. The Bar is, in fact, investigating Adel at the request of her top deputy, who alleged she’s been absent for long periods of time and appeared to be drunk on the job.
