Prosecutor who seeks Dallas DA Susan Hawk’s removal sues county for more than $1 million
The former prosecutor who spearheaded the effort to oust Dallas County District Attorney Susan Hawk from office has filed a personal lawsuit against the county seeking more than $1 million in damages.
Cindy Stormer, who over saw the budget for the district attorney’s office until she was fired in September, sued Dallas County for violating the state’s whistle blower act. She said she was fired because she “made good-faith reports of violations of law.”
A spokeswoman for the DA’s office declined to comment Wednesday, but first assistant Messina Madson has previously said Stormer was fired for incompetence.
Madson said earlier this year that she terminated Stormer because she botched a 2013 family violence case in which the suspect went on to shoot at Dallas police headquarters this year and because she failed to pay two key bills.
