Would this be a conflict of interest

[time43]

Hello I just found this forum today its great I wish I would have found it earlier. My question is my kids dad has been charged with first degree murder. They have no evidence no weapon This murder happened at a club. with at least 5 people shooting. Anyway I just found out from our states court site that the DA once defended the victim in a criminal case when she was a lawyer. Would this be a conflict of interest?

Is the DA the actual person prosecuting this case on behalf of the state or it an ADA representing the State?

Yes the DA is actually prosecuting the case.

Yes the DA is actually prosecuting the case.

Bring it to your husbands attorney's attention. Although an ADA MIGHT take over, it may not be considered a conflict.
