Arizona’s Coshise County Attorney Ed Rheinheimer’s head is being measured for a platter by at least two local groups because of his failure to protect Cochise County citizens from either crime or a county government that has sold its soul to big real estate developers.
CCCFJ, the Cochise County Citizens For Justice, is gathering signatures on petitions to recall Rheinheimer because of his ineptness in criminal matters. The website — http://www.recalledr.org — lists several murders and other serious crimes where Rheinheimer’s ineptness or failure to prosecute has left ordinary citizens unprotected.
CCIPRA, the Cochise County Individual and Property Rights Association, has noted Rheinheimer’s indifference to substandard work by his deputies who advise county agencies. The website — http://littlebigdog.net/ccipra.htm — describes, in the “Upcoming Concerns” section, Rheinheimer’s deputies advising county agencies to contradict and ignore the law, apparently with his apparent blessing, in order to advance the agendas of big real estate developers.
Because Rheinheimer has left citizens feeling helpless in the face of felonies, and unprotected from a politicized bureaucracy, Rheinheimer should be recalled. Let’s dump him, and get a county attorney who will require his staff to act like professional attorneys, not partisan hacks.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt is reprehensible that Ed Rheinheimer has charged the border agent with murder. UNBELIEVABLE. A border agent – law enforcement – defending his life and this???
Ed Rheinheimer – when he is confronted with a bad guy face to face – should call upon an illegal alien to help him out.
Law enforcement is being shackled and our country endangered by this despicable case. Self defense should be rewarded and skill praised in the quick action of this border agent
The border patrol agent shot and killed an unarmed man. That is murder, no matter who the parties are.
Ed Rheinheimer isn’t an American, he should be sent to mexico since he loves them so much.
When will congress listen – SEND THE WETBACK BACK!!!
I am a local Professional Investigator who used to be a law enforcement investigator and Traffic Cop. I currently have a client who’s spouse was killed after being struck by a Cadillac going well over the speed limit in the pitch black of the night which also makes the crime of negligent homicide reckless driving. The Sierra Vista Police Department has failed to correctly investigate the crime and instead decided to defame the character of the victim by labeling him as a drunk stumbling in the middle of the road at night. The victim was neither drunk nor stumbling in the middle of the road. I have re-investigated this matter and by facts and physical evidence, proven that the driver of the Cadillac was negligent in his duties to be aware of pedestrians on the roadway (ARS 28-794 Driver’s to exercise due care) and drive the posted speed limit, which could have resulted in a much different outcome. However, now the victim is dead and a wife and three daughters are left without a loved one. This is truly a tragedy in every sense of the word and something should be done. The driver of that vehicle on that fateful morning was driving on a suspended license and suspended vehicle insurance. He has a previous record of speeding and was caught driving on a suspended license a couple of weeks after the accident. He initially was charged with driving on a suspended license, which was then dismissed by the prosecutor later. He walks and the victim died approximately a month later from his injuries, which were a direct result of the vehicle striking him. There are doctor statements supporting my findings and physical evidence, which corroborates my findings that the victim was struck due to the inability of the driver to travel the speed limit and pay attention to the roadway. He needs to be charged with negligent homicide for the death of the victim. He lied in his statements to the police and the police statements contradict themselves countless times. The question should be why? Why is he running free when a free man was killed? Why did the Sierra Vista Police Department and their lawyer decline to talk to me about the accident when I asked for an audience with the first officer to arrive on scene that fateful morning? All I asked was to talk to the officer to get additional details since he was the first officer to arrive on scene and the previous witnesses statements in my investigation are contradictory. But they (SVPD) refused to comment. Why? Do they have something to hide? Folks, in my experience with law enforcement, when a police officer refuses to give a simple account of what he observed when he arrived on scene at an accident and the case has been officially closed, they must be hiding something. It is public record and the victim’s family has a right to know what, when, why, where, and how. Are we to put our trust in a police department that hides the truth from us? What happened to public trust? What happened to integrity? This is sad but true and we, as citizens, need to be aware of what is really going on in the world around us because maybe someday, it will affect you or me too. Comments should be directed to:

My mother was and continues to be a victim of elder abuse/exploitation. We had the investigation completed (with prodding) and it has sat on the County Attorney’s desk for a year. In the mean time, protection orders have been ignored and mom has no recourse to recover what was stolen from her. While we were waiting for this to be prosecuted, he did decide to pursue the prosecution of a cattle rustler, having stolen 4 cows. Imagine, 4 cows trumps a 73 year old woman. I’d like to know his relationship to the cow owner.
As a follow up, he lost the cow case and now the rustler is walking the streets of Willcox and … you guessed it! He is now attempting to make his living off of our mother. Why not, everyone else is and our ELECTED County Attorney seems to think it’s “mischief” or at least that’s what he calls it.
Where did this loser come from??
So where are these folks with the Petitions? How do we find them? The web sites listed are inactive?
