Erik Nasarenko, District Attorney for the County of Ventura, was the Fillmore Rotary speaker last week. He is a Rotarian and Paul Harris Fellow. Before he became the District Attorney he was a prosecutor for domestic violence and sex crimes. Since he became the District Attorney, he has hired 15 prosecutors; one is a Fillmore woman, Twila Atmore, daughter of Clark and Shelley Johnson. One of his goals has been to get grants from the Department of Justice to form a Cold Case Department, to test DNA samples and solve more crimes.
