I GOT THAT DISTINCT FEELING SEVERAL TIMES.

You're probably thinking of Jeff Lindsey resigning after the preliminary hearing. I don't think you can blame that on him not being happy with her election though, since she hired him. We don't really know why he resigned, but based on Stanley's statement that "We wish we had the opportunity to resolve any issues he may have had," it sounds like he became unhappy with the situation and decided to leave.
it was nothing to do with her election, something to do with the department maybe?

Thursday, 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley's law license was reinstated.
I was critical of Judge L's ruling on this at the time, but I had to acknowledge that admission of expert evidence on the behavior of abuse victims was not common. We still have work to do, to assure that judges are educated on the reasons this evidence is significant and not unfairly prejudicial.Judge prevented allegations of DV from being admitted.

An organization dedicated to helping victims of domestic abuse is questioning a judge’s decision to prevent evidence of allegations of domestic violence from being admitted in Barry Morphew’s murder trial.
Yes, the AA contained the tranq theory, and lots of unnecessary info, and Cahill from CBI was the main author. Should have stuck to divorce pending, phone data, truck data, historical phone data, and BM lies. Fortunately the arrest affidavit is just used to make an arrest. He was arrested and charged, had a preliminary hearing, and was bound over for trial. I would hope that in the trial they would take out a lot of unnecessary info and tranq Theory, but wouldn't have too much confidence in the prosecution. Every case has a chance of acquittal especially murder trials. In my opinion he would have been found guilty of murder if there was a trial.
The problem was at the front end. I think Cahill was right to say the case was not ready to file. They should have spent more time before the arrest, making sure they had everything they needed, that the decisions related to discovery were made, and that all the evidence was organized and ready for discovery. That would have been a team effort but they had time - LS and JS both testified that there was no urgency driving the timing of BM's arrest. I think the new DA wanted to deliver on her campaign promise, that she would be more aggressive filing cases than her predecessor. JS was probably pressing, too. His investigation took a year to complete, and the public was restive.
Well, the dismissal of JL by newly elected DA Allen was pretty clearly for political differences. JL supported Allen's opponent. Political positions require a degree of loyalty to the elected official that Allen had no reason to believe could exist. He was probably right about that. Not a corrupt decision IMO, and also not the bad reflection on JL's competent the local rag's headline makes it seem.DA claims former Barry Morphew prosecutor was previously fired for incompetence, but some former employees say otherwise

The height of political corruption.
Just out of curiosity, why do you think they had the reports prepared? I think that's very unlikely.
I'm not convinced sabotage is not a feature here.
If the case had been prepared in advance, all the necessary reports would have been in, known by all the principal actors, and disclosed from the beginning. There would have been no opportunity for sabotage.
