There Is A Lot Of Fair Criticism About Atlantic County Prosecutor Will Reynolds

However, one thing that Reynolds usually does is over communicate. But, not this time. Reynolds has not publicly commented, nor, has he authorized a public statement of any kind about the departure — retirement of Chief Pat Snyder.

Many have observed this intentional act of omission and disrespect made by Reynolds.

Snyder Was Widely Recognized As The Compass That Kept His Agency On Course

While on the job, Snyder was like a living, breathing cliché. Snyder wasn’t just part of his organization—he was the standard by which leadership was measured. Snyder was the steady hand at the helm when the waters turned rough. Snyder was a force multiplier, who made everyone around him better. You get the point.

Reynolds knows this and he failed to do the right thing upon Snyder’s departure — likely based upon petty jealousy.

This Snub Continues A Disturbing Pattern With Reynolds

Reynolds has spiraled downward since he lost big at trial to Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small — and then he was left with no alternative but to dismiss all criminal charges versus Dr. La’Quetta Small and Constance Days Chapman.

The decision to dismiss the criminal charges was first suggested (publicly) by myself and then by Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson.

Small, Small and Days-Chapman have since filed suit versus Reynolds and The County of Atlantic.

Levinson was trying to save Reynolds from himself when he publicly recommended that all criminal charges should have been dismissed.

Reynolds publicly pouted about Levinson — yet, in the end, Reynolds did exactly what Levinson recommended.
