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.
