On this weekend's Sunday Square off, the candidate for sheriff blames then County Attorney Bill Montgomery's office for the charges being dismissed against the lone suspect, Leslie Merritt Jr. Leslie Merritt, in my opinion, is still the freeway shooter and we had the right guy in custody. That wasn't enough for Montgomery. There's been no Perry Mason moment. Montgomery's nationally known ballistics expert questioned DPS's evidence. Holes were poked in DPS investigators timeline.
