Is Mick Combs still at work?

If you read the Affidavit filed in Shane Lamb's recanting of testimony in Mario Casciaro's trial, you have to wonder whether Mick Combs is still at work in the office of the McHenry County State's Attorney.

If you haven't read it, read it.

Mick Combs has been the State's Attorney's Chief of the Criminal Division.

Shane Lamb makes some strong accusations against Combs. It seems to me that, at the very least, Lou Bianchi should give Combs some time off while this gets sorted out. A paid Administrative Leave? Are the charges serious enough for an Unpaid Leave? And, if Combs is vindicated, then he gets his job and pay back.

Can any part of what Lamb says be believed? Casciaro's attorney accused Lamb of "lying about lying about lying".

Should the accusations be investigated by an outside, independent entity?

Absolutely!
