- State Attorney: Ward's prosecution wasn't compromised
Mark Interlicchio, a former assistant state attorney who helped prosecute Bob Ward, "no longer is employed with my office," State Attorney Aramis Ayala said in a statement.
One of Ward's daughters said Interlicchio sent "inappropriate" text messages. She did not elaborate.
"I take professionalism and integrity in my office very seriously, and when the personal communication was brought to my attention I immediately suspended the ASA pending an investigation," Ayala's statement read.
Ward, the former Isleworth millionaire, is scheduled to be sentenced June 14 for manslaughter in the death of his wife, Diane, in 2009.
"I am confident that the successful prosecution of Bob Ward was not compromised," Ayala said.
