CRI has learned from several subscribers and supporters that they have contacted the Attorney General Beau Biden’s Office, seeking answers to questions posed in a story CRI published yesterday.
The story revealed how Biden chose three $500-per-hour attorneys from a well-connected private law firm to defend the Delaware Psychiatric Center (DPC) and DPC officials against a whistleblower lawsuit, rather than assigning the case to a deputy attorney general already on the state’s payroll. One of the private attorneys, Joseph C. Schoell, served as Gov. Ruth Ann Minner’s chief legal counsel. Biden’s decisions could cost taxpayers more in legal fees than the $1 million in damages demanded by the lawsuit.
Those who have called the AG’s Office (302-577-8500 or 302-577-8400) to complain or inquire about Biden’s decision, CRI has learned, have been questioned about how they learned of the case. They’ve also been told someone from the office would call them back to explain in detail what occurred. However, no one from the AG’s office has called them back.
