DA: new case-management software will give victims online access to case details

District Attorney John Wentworth announced the county intends to purchase Prosecutor by Carpell on Oct. 21, a case-management system he said will allow victims online access to information about their cases and swift communication with victim advocates.

"It'll allow them to have swift communication with their victim advocates, online, as well as being able to identify their prosecutor, the defense attorney, the charges, upcoming court dates," Wentworth said, describing the purchase as a response to the information gap survivors often face during prosecution.

Officials said the goal is to reduce the uncertainty and trauma survivors experience when they lack basic case information, though Wentworth did not provide cost details or an implementation timeline beyond the purchase date.
