Former prosecutor Mark Skeels was terminated in September after signing declarations supporting former boss
Earlier this year, a jury awarded almost $4 million to former San Diego city prosecutor Marlea Dell’Anno in a long-running wrongful-termination case. Now a key witness in that trial has filed his own lawsuit against the city.
“At the time plaintiff made the complaints, plaintiff had reasonable cause to believe his complaints concerned violations of state or federal law or regulations,” it addsA spokeswoman for City Attorney Mara Elliott said Skeels was relieved of duty in September for violating ethics rules. Price also acknowledged that he knew Skeels and Dell’Anno — his one-time boss — had a prior personal relationship. According to the lawsuit, Price said he would seek to keep that information out of the public record if Skeels helped him win the case.
According to the lawsuit, McGhee fabricated testimony at Price’s direction about how she had learned about Skeels’ relationship with Dell’Anno, saying in a declaration that she had looked at Skeels’ cellphone.
