DA Steve Wolfson on Crime Trends, High-Profile Cases & His Bid for Re-Election

On today’s episode of The Middle Ground Radio Show, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson joins us to discuss his announcement to run for re-election, the encouraging decline in violent crime rates both nationally and locally, and why traffic fatalities remain a troubling exception. We cover recent high-profile cases, including the multi-agency sting that led to eight arrests for luring minors online, the controversy surrounding bail, and the extradition of Eric Rangel Ibarra in connection to the 2020 murder of Lesly Palacio. Wolfson also reflects on his office’s groundbreaking initiatives—from Nevada’s first Conviction Review Unit to innovative diversion programs—and what his vision for the DA’s office looks like moving forward.
