Gorcyca's Meltdown

Good thing Oakland County Prosecutor David Gorcyca isn't running for re-election and is expected to step-down when his term expires in 2009. But considering the weirdness that is Gorcyca these days, we're not even sure he'll make it that far.

An average lawyer who's managed a below average per­formance as the county's chief law enforcement of­ficer, Gorcyca has "distinguished" himself in the last few months with his tortured investigation of the Cox-Fieger-O'Brien affair, his ham-fisted efforts to blackmail a circuit judge over her decades-old drunk driving charges and his public feud with the South­field police chief over the charges in the Thomas Hearns case.

Now comes news that he's pushed-out two long-time lieutenants, Deputy Pro­se­cutor Jim Halushka and Warrants Division Chief Charles Claus apparently over their refusal to support Gorcyca's hand-picked successor, Chief Deputy Deborah Carley.

Got to love a guy who dumps his last wife with infant twins. Too personal? You bet.

And now his former mistress is running for circuit court judge. Real class.
