Special Prosecutor Says Martinsville Investigation Is “Trudging Along” — Because Apparently That’s the Update
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — If you were hoping for a major bombshell, new charges or some dramatic revelation in the ongoing investigation into Martinsville’s legal troubles, you may want to sit down for this one.
There isn’t much to report.
Cardinal News received a brief comment from the special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into the City of Martinsville’s legal woes.
The update?
The investigation is “trudging along.”
According to the special prosecutor, investigators have been conducting interviews, and those conversations are providing additional details as the investigation continues.
And... that's essentially the update.
No new charges were announced. No major findings were released. No dramatic courthouse doors were kicked down.
Just interviews, more information and an investigation continuing at what can generously be described as a steady — if painfully slow — pace.
The investigation stems from ongoing questions surrounding legal and administrative issues involving the City of Martinsville. Officials have previously indicated that the matter is being handled independently through a special prosecutor.
For now, residents waiting for answers are apparently going to need a little more patience.
“Trudging along” may not be the most exciting status update, but at least it means the investigation hasn't completely stopped.
So, Martinsville, grab a cup of coffee.
Apparently, we've got some more trudging to do.
