The LA Times portrays Thompson’s prosecutorial career as unimpressive. Patterico — a prosecutor himself — looks at Thompson’s actual win/loss numbers, which he got from blogger Anwyn, and concludes that “they seem pretty standard for someone of his experience level.” The punchline: “[Anwyn] got the information she was looking for . . . from the reporter! You see, he had that information. He just didn’t think it was relevant to include in an article about Thompson’s record as a prosecutor.”
