# Scott County Attorney's Office *County attorney's office in Scott County, Minnesota, named in one at-issue record pair.* The Scott County Attorney's Office, also listed as the Scott County Attorney, is the [[County Attorney's office]] of Scott County, Minnesota. It appears in this record through one at-issue pair, AI-Scott-019. That pair compares two payments. It sets what the office paid to people it charged and then dismissed against what the county paid to one man it jailed.[^1] The pair comes from the project's matrix (Matrix 4.5). It lists two underlying sources, a court record and a news report, from the domains law.resource.org and cbsnews.com. Neither source is among the citable URLs in this pack, so the figures below are stated as the pair gives them. The only URL attached to the pair is a White House presidential action. The pair uses that action as an anchor for its observation, and the action does not itself address Scott County.[^1] ## Who - The Scott County Attorney's Office is the subject of at-issue pair AI-Scott-019. The pair states that the office charged and then dismissed twenty-one people.[^1] ## In the at-issue record Pair AI-Scott-019 states that the Scott County Attorney's office paid nothing to the twenty-one people it charged and dismissed. It also states that the same county paid $12.2 million to one man it jailed.[^1] The pair says the difference does not turn on how severe the harm was. It turns on prosecutorial immunity, because a jail-medical claim is not shielded by that immunity. The pair's anchor note states the point as "liability attaches where doctrine permits, not where harm occurs."[^1] This pack does not establish several facts that the pair's court and news sources would be needed for: - the underlying payment records; - the dates of the dismissals or of the $12.2 million payment; - the names of the people involved.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: The White House, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (March 2025). This is the anchor document attached to at-issue pair AI-Scott-019, and it is the only citable URL in the pack. It does not itself establish the Scott County payment figures, which the pair attributes to court (law.resource.org) and news (cbsnews.com) sources not available here. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/protecting-americas-bank-account-against-fraud-waste-and-abuse/
