Jepsen’s pick for deputy AG, Nora Dannehy, put Rowland behind prison bars

Attorney General-elect George Jepsen just held a news conference announcing that veteran deputy U.S. Attorney Nora Dannehy has agreed to be his chief deputy. After the brief news conference in the Legislative Office Building, the Blogster approached Dannehy, who was the federal prosecutor for the Rowland (he served 10 months in prison and now has a radio show) scandal and lives a few miles away from the Capitol, in Glastonbury.

Blogster: “Do you ever find yourself driving around on a weekday afternoon, between 3 and 6, listening to WTIC and asking yourself whether you could have extended the prison term for John Rowland?

Dannehy, laughing: “No comment.”
