New special prosecutor Roger Moore from Nashville is expected to be assigned to a shooting case in Soddy Daisy, Chattanoogan.com reports. Moore would replace Tammy Meade, who was named to the case in January after local district attorney Neal Pinkston recused himself. Pinkston stepped down after accusing a political opponent, Coty Wamp, of obstruction of justice and witness tampering in the case. Meade agreed with Wamp that the wrong man had been arrested and had charges dropped against Hugo Garcia Padilla. She then identified Hugo Garcia Robles as the perpetrator and said she would seek an indictment with the local grand jury.
