Whoever wins the race to be the next Hamilton County district attorney — either John Allen Brooks or Coty Wamp — will be able to refashion the office if experienced prosecutors and staff depart the office with the change of administration. Chattanoogan.com reports that the first person to leave following the defeat of incumbent District Attorney Neal Pinkston is prosecutor Andrew Coyle. His last day will be May 27. Coyle says he has been asked to join the law firm of Patrick, Beard, Schulman & Jacoway, where former prosecutors Lance Pope and Kristen Williams are also on staff. “Being a prosecutor is incredibly rewarding and provides such a sense of job achievement," Coyle said. "I will miss it tremendously."
