TUCSON, Ariz. — Mike Jette said he has been a community activist in Southern Arizona for years. He has been on the board for Tucson Clean And Beautiful and the Tucson Museum of Art and has also been a coach for the Special Olympics among other things.He said he was chosen by the Department of Justice to set up prosecution offices abroad and also worked at the U.S. Attorney’s Office before deciding to run.
“They stay in custody pending the outcome of their trial or however they’re adjudicated,” he explained about his ideas if he were to be elected. If elected he said he would tell his attorneys to agree with release conditions and would appeal to a superior court judge if there’s an issue with the initial appearance.
Jette said he does not believe in the death penalty and said his administration would never seek it because it’s too expensive. “The victims need to have their voices heard too so if you ignore that because you’re so focused on these defendants, you’re avoiding the other piece of this equation,” he said.
