1974: The 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office had hired a part-time prosecutor to help with the case load.
DA Fred Hensley said Clovis attorney Robert Cochrane would work the equivalent of two days per week and be on call nights and weekends.
The DA’s other prosecutors were Assistant DA Bill Bonem and Richard Rowley II, who was called in for “special cases,” Hensley said.
District Attorney Andrea Reeb said the district attorney’s office today is budgeted for 14 full-time prosecutors. Most of them have between 160 and 215 ongoing cases.
