Outside the courthouse, Orange County Supervisor Todd Spitzer, who is seeking to replace Rackauckas as DA in next month’s election, criticized prosecutors for not immediately filing charges after the search warrant was carried out in January. Spitzer handed to some reporters copies of the warrant, which had been obtained by some media outlets after charges were filed, but has since been sealed by the court.
