In the weeks before that, Mr. Vance’s office failed to win rape convictions against two New York police officers accused of sexually assaulting a drunken woman (the officers were found guilty of lesser charges). And the most significant terrorism charges were dropped against two men accused of planning attacks against synagogues in the city, though serious counts remain. Some of the most pointed complaints about Mr. Vance are emanating from the district attorney’s office itself, according to numerous interviews with prosecutors and other officials. They spoke on the condition that their names not be used, saying they feared reprisals. Several said they worried that cases were often pursued with an excessive focus on whether they would generate publicity. Some said Mr. Vance had taken away the discretion of midlevel prosecutors, sometimes to the detriment of cases. To do so, the office had to obtain an indictment within five days. The alternative was to agree to a bail package so that prosecutors could take their time investigating the case before deciding whether to indict, according to four people briefed on the matter. In the end, Mr. Vance chose a quick indictment, drawing criticism that he had moved before he knew of the accuser’s background. Prosecutors have said in court that they decided to seek the indictment and to keep Mr. Strauss-Kahn in custody to avoid the possibility of Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s fleeing the country. The case also unfolded as a rift had already developed between Mr. Vance and the chief of the office’s sex crimes unit, Lisa Friel. She stepped down last week under circumstances that were not entirely clear. It did not appear that her decision was directly related to the Strauss-Kahn case. Vance is a phony like his father , attention grabbing politically motivated cretin .....all this talk about DSK fleeing the country , he was the head of the IMF for crissakes . Could tell Vance was grandstanding when seeing the choice of extremely photogenic Ivy league looking DA they had arguing strenuously for the high bond and flight risk controls upon arraignment . They thought they had a real tight high profile case , or so they assumed and were grandstanding from the start . They chose to move forward quickly , chose to humiliate him and ended up looking like the weenies they are....attention grabbing phony ivy league pricks . Looks like Vance is off to a flying start as head of the NYC DA office .
