Cited to Support

Lyle C. May alleges that former Buncombe County Sheriff Bobby Medford engaged in serious abuses of public office and that federal prosecutors viewed the conduct as part of a broader pattern of corruption. The Bobby Medford trial transcript is cited to document Assistant United States Attorney Richard Lee Edwards' characterization of the case as involving "public corruption, the abuse of power and an effort to enrich Bobby Medford." May relies upon this testimony to support his claim that corruption within Buncombe County law enforcement extended to senior officials and affected public confidence in the integrity of criminal justice institutions operating during the time period of his 1997 Asheville, North Carolina case.
