County makes it worse in horse case

BROOKLYN — I am appalled at the county prosecutor's office and its handling of the case involving the horses seized in Grass Lake.
The prosecutor says this case isn't over yet and that he is appealing because, if his office does not, the county will have trouble paying James Henderson back.
A couple of questions arise. Isn't an appeal due to matters of law rather than finance? I didn't think you got to appeal because the county can't pay, or because you do not like what the judge ruled.
Now, two respected judges in our county have ruled in favor of the men being prosecuted. Is the county saving money by paying for appeals and the staff to chase them? Is it saving by continuing to persecute two men who have done nothing wrong? All the prosecutors are accomplishing is making the situation worse. I am sick of the ends that Jackson County seems to go to hide its mistakes.
I know there are people who still think the county and animal control is in the right, but they are not. I am glad people are finally seeing this for what it is. A lot of taxpayer money is going down the drain so a few people in the prosecutor's office, in animal control and on the county Board of Commissioners can save face.
This just makes me sick. You made a mistake, fess up, pay up and move on!
