NORFOLK, Va. — A grand jury investigation into the Norfolk Commonwealth's Attorney's office won't happen.
A judge on Friday dismissed a petition asking for a grand jury to investigate Ramin Fatehi. It was initially filed by Amina Matheny-Willard, who lost to Fatehi in a 2021 election.
Matheny-Willard and a co-counsel argued Fatehi's office has lost several high-profile cases, which put criminals back on the streets and has created a public nuisance.
The judge sanctioned Matheny-Willard $500, calling the petition politically motivated.
