PORT ANGELES – Clallam County Prosecutor Mark Nichols dropped by the Todd Ortloff Show Monday armed with some hard data about crime and prosecutions so far in the year 2018.

Nichols says that doesn’t necessarily indicate an uptick in crime. He says it could also mean that people are more willing to report it, but is probably a little of both.

With more cases are being referred to his office, does that mean more cases are being prosecuted?

Nichols was then asked if he had any stats on outcomes in the courtroom.
