Two retired Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office detectives have provided statements questioning the handling of the criminal investigation and prosecution of Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small, adding new allegations to a $50 million civil lawsuit accusing Prosecutor William Reynolds of pursuing the case for political reasons. According to SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com, the statements, included in court documents filed this week, describe what the former investigators considered extraordinary surveillance operations, unusually heavy security and investigative decisions that differed from their experience handling other criminal cases.The new information comes as Reynolds and other defendants seek dismissal of the lawsuit, arguing that prosecutors are protected by established legal immunity doctrines.
