More DA office stink
Former Salt Lake County prosecutor Kent Morgan is fighting to get his job back and it could mean another big stink for party girl District Attorney Lohra Miller.

Miller fired Morgan for allegedly leaking "confidential, internal information" to a friend and campaign worker, Steven Maese. Maese goes on trial this month in connection with a Cottonwood Heights prostitution ring.

Although Morgan apparently was at meetings at which Maese's case was discussed, Morgan denies he participated in the discussions or provided his friend with any information.
Morgan claims Miller fired him remove him as a potential future political rival — he ran unsuccessfully against her at the Republican convention.

Phone records obtained by The Tribune's Robert Gehrke and Steve Hunt confirm Morgan and Maese talked scores of times, but Morgan says the topic was politics — including another run for DA.

Glen, having trouble accessing the hyperlink on the "stink" term. Is this a password protected blog? Everytime I try to log in to my blogger account to get in, it kicks me out.

I've got some good stink for Atty. Kent Morgan not necssarily on the DA but definitely on the City Attorney for SLCPD as well as SLPD itself. I believe I can corroborate/backup claims of a vendetta cause of action not by the DA but definitely from the SLPD and/or SLC Attorney.
