The Criminal Justice Commission, which appointed Colangelo and has sole power over the position, scheduled a meeting for Wednesday with lawyers from the state Attorney General’s office to review the laws and regulations governing removal of the chief state’s attorney, a constitutional officer who cannot simply be dismissed. The commission was created as a quasi-independent agency in the hope of insulating criminal prosecutions from political influence.
Among other things, a formal charge would have to be brought and Colangelo would be summoned to a hearing at which he could present witnesses on his behalf.
“It is a sad day for everyone involved,” said former Chief State’s Attorney Kevin Kane, who preceded Colangelo in office.
