Frank DeLuca has outlasted six district attorneys, four editors, and one attempted charm offensive. He's the man who reads the fee ledger before the press release, and his rolled sleeves are a warning to every clerk with a missing file.
Thirty years on the courthouse beat taught him one thing: the real story is never in the ruling — it's in what didn't get recorded. He wears his McSkunk Investigates pin on a loosened tie because gravity, like justice, works better with a little slack.
Signature growl: 'Show me the transcript. No transcript? Now THAT'S a story.'
