From the Nevada Appeal:
Adair heard more than an hour of arguments and squabbles Tuesday between prosecutors from the state attorney general’s office and attorneys for Krolicki and his chief of staff and co-defendant, Kathryn Besser.
Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto offered to turn the prosecution over to a special prosecutor due to what Masto characterized as a personal conflict. Lawyers for Krolicki derided the offer.
“This is absolutely ridiculous,” Krolicki defense lawyer Richard Wright said, accusing the prosecution of a “dog ate my homework” delaying tactic on the eve of trial.
“We don’t accept the representations of how this came about,” he said. “It looks like a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit to me.”
