[Alphanews] "Bless your heart"
The new attorney of Hennepin County, Minnesota, Mary Moriarty took her oath of office Tuesday with her hand placed on a copy of a graphic novel about the late congressman John Lewis.

Photos from the swearing-in ceremony show Moriarty with her hand on a copy of “March,” which she described as a “graphic novel trilogy about Congress Member John Lewis and his courageous fight for voting rights.”

Moriarty replaced retiring Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who spent 24 years in the office. A former chief public defender, Moriarty promoted “restorative justice programs” on the campaign trail as an “alternative to incarceration” and “traditional prosecution.”

She also opposes the cash bail system, which is “not helping to make our community safer.”

According to Fox 9, 14 senior employees in the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office said they plan to leave when Moriarty takes over. Many of them reportedly supported Martha Holton Dimick, Moriarty’s opponent.

“You can’t come into a job like this and say I’m going to take over, and we’re going to do everything differently,” retiring Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who spent 24 years in the office, previously told Fox 9. “I don’t think Mary’s trying to do that but if she does it’s not going to work.”

#4  There is a trend of government types releasing graphic books of themselves. They end up at libraries, bookstores on displays. Sort of check-out line theory, or bill boarding.
