The Georgia district attorney who stood down from the Laken Riley murder case amid criticism of her office once dismissed charges against a child rapist who was later convicted of the attack. Athens-Clarke County DA Deborah Gonzalez announced she will appoint a special prosecutor to handle the murder case after several lawmakers and attorneys expressed concern about her ability to prosecute the suspect given her office's spotted history.That history includes multiple violations of victim's rights under Marsy’s Law, such as in the case of child rapist Michael Lareco Daniel, 43, who on Thursday was convicted on all counts for raping a 14-year-old relative three years ago.
