War of Lawsuits Continues in Maricopa County

     PHOENIX (CN) - Sheriff Joe Arpaio's former chief deputy and a former Maricopa County deputy attorney claim county officials destroyed their reputations "in an attempt to influence the public by the misuse of their positions of power and misuse of the truth."
     Former Chief Deputy David Hendershott and former Deputy County Attorney Lisa Aubuchon claim they were retaliated against after investigating the county's $375 million criminal court tower, and for their involvement in a 118-count criminal indictment against Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley.
     Aubuchon was fired in September 2010 on allegations that she filed racketeering lawsuits against county officials with insufficient evidence.
     Hendershott resigned in April after a report by the state Attorney General's Office that he participated in "illegal conduct of an enterprise and obstructing criminal investigations or prosecutions."
     They sued five Maricopa County and its five supervisors, the county manager and assistant manager, the county attorney and a former county attorney, the state and its attorney general, and others, in Maricopa County Court.
     Hendershott and Aubuchon claim that Stapley "pressured a presiding judge into hiring" attorney Thomas Irvine and the Polsinelli Shughart law firm as a "space planner" for the publicly funded tower. Irvine and Polisnelli Shughart are both named as defendants.
