State's Attorney FY 2027 budget and evidence system
Prince George's County
Summary
The State's Attorney's office is running with 15+ vacancies and an outdated case management system, leading to case dismissals when evidence can't be shared with defense attorneys. The office wants an Axon discovery system (~$400K/year) that isn't in the submitted budget, plus more juvenile division resources ahead of new Maryland laws taking effect October 1.
