U.S. Attorney John Huber talked about the value of his new prosecutors.
"I cannot overstate the positive impact these positions will have in Utah for decades to come. We competed nationally to get these positions."
Huber says every one of the prosecutors is already handling about twenty cases.
"They range from domestic terrorism to court-authorized wiretaps of criminal organizations to child pedophiles and those who would exploit our children. Criminal aliens. Big fraud schemes."
They also deal with gangs and violent crimes. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tad May says "There are a lot of drugs in the valley and a lot of gangs in the valley and the interaction of the two can be really dangerous for communities and individuals."
That's May's area of expertise. He says a lot of people don't think of Utah as gang territory, but it is. And his job is to put them in jail and protect citizens often caught in the crossfire.
"They don't deserve to have bullets flying in their neighborhoods. They don't deserve to have drug transactions on their corners."
