Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning ripped lawyers at the Department of Correctional Services…and adamantly denies his office ever advised them to ignore decisions handed down by the state Supreme Court.
Bruning made his comments after lawyers from Corrections testified before a special legislative committee on why prison sentences were miscalculated.
Bruning says he will advise the next governor to not hire attorneys for the department. . .


Bruning says a charge by one of the attorneys that the AG office advised them to ignore a crucial Supreme Court decision is “patently ridiculous and offensive.”

Bruning says his office would never advise any department to ignore Supreme Court rulings.
