📋 A recent investigation revealed evidence that the general counsel for the Oregon Public Defense Commission (OPDC), Eric Deitrick, has a history of problematic behavior. One of his subordinates explains that, “when I raised concerns about his behavior and allegations of mismanagement and abuse of authority, he further retaliated against me and removed a project and other work from me.” The report also shows that Deitrick wields significant influence in how the public defense system works. The OPDC must do the only appropriate action in this situation: terminate Deitrick’s employment. Our public defense system is vital and needs adequate leadership. 👉 Read the full Willamette Week article for more. https://bit.ly/40e6FMJ
