Prosecutor denies favoritism, vows to open gambling-probe files
Outagamie County District Attorney Carrie Schneider is tired of rumors that she tabled a two-year-old gambling probe to protect families members. So she's promising to file charges in the next 30 days in the case. She says she'll also attach whatever information she has, to prove she has nothing to hide. The charges stem from a 2005 Super Bowl pool at the Legacy Supper Club in Grand Chute. Agents with the state Justice Department investigated for six months, and then turned the case over to Schneider's office. The case languished there, leading to rumors Schneider was trying to protect relatives who were pool participants. She says her office was more focused on homicide cases and felonies, not misdemeanor gambling charges.
