ood said. “That’s what every defense attorney should, ethically … I asked for a dismissal (and prosecutors) said no.”

Later, through an open records request, I obtained a Dec. 19 email from Altis to Herberg, who had ordered the prosecutor to document the trial’s chain of events.

“Before we left the courtroom on Monday, Nico asked me to speak to you about whether we would be willing to offer the defendant a Class C Deferred due to the fact that the court was considering a mistrial,” Altis wrote.

Later, LaHood acknowledged seeking that plea deal. But he insisted he told Smith weeks before the trial began that he didn’t want the county to hire Herberg.

“We had a discussion three weeks, four weeks — as soon as I won — before (trial), about Cliff, and potentially, not for sure, anything, not anything,” he said. “Kevin Wolff is inaccurate, how about that? He wasn’t involved in any conversations. What conversation was he involved in? Did he say I was there with him?

“I’m telling you that I met with his dad (Nelson Wolff), David Smith, weeks before. It had nothing to do with (the trial). That issue was already resolved a long time ago, and nothing was for sure. And I have some issues, ethical issues with Cliff Herberg … I have ethical issues with the way Cliff Herberg practices law.”

LaHood should reflect on the way he practices law himself. Earlier this year, while campaigning to topple Reed, he told me, “Lady Justice wears a blindfold for a reason.”

To insist on defending a client while controlling the jobs of those prosecuting that client, however, shows that LaHood still needs to locate that blindfold, preferably before Thursday.
