As investigators search for clues on who killed the Kaufman County district attorney and his wife over the weekend, lawyers from other jurisdictions are heading to North Texas to assist the small prosecutor’s office to manage its day-to-day business.
On Saturday, Kaufman DA Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found shot inside their house near Forney. The slaying comes two months after the death of Mark Hasse, a Kaufman County assistant district attorney who was fatally shot while he was walking from the employee parking lot on his way to work.
