At our Department of Justice did speak with current Attorney General Josh Call about Tony's claims of failed leadership, specifically about the crime labs. And here is Call's response. Last state budget, my administration asked for 19 additional positions for the state crime labs. Eric Tony's allies in the state legislature provided us with zero of the positions that we requested. Now despite that, we have made technological progress over the years at the crime labs, but we do need further investment from from the legislature. (01:17–01:23)
