FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) – The winner of an election for city prosecutor in a
southeast Missouri city admits she incorrectly said in a mailer sent two days
before the vote that her opponent was living with a felon.
Julie McCarver was re-elected Tuesday as Farmington city prosecutor, defeating
attorney Cira Duffe.
The Park Hills Daily Journal reports McCarver said in a Facebook post Friday
she had “rigorously investigated” and believed that Duffe lived with a
felon. But she said she later discovered a person with a long criminal record
had the same name as the man who lives with Duffe.
Duffe responded Friday that McCarver lied about another person having the same
name, and in other information in the mailer. She says she’s taking the issue to
the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel.
