“I am grateful for the work Ms. Wilson has accomplished throughout her career that has impacted not only this office but our community,” District Attorney Heather Adams said in a statement. “As prosecutors and judicial officers, we are held to higher standards and for that reason and considering all of the circumstances, I have accepted Ms. Wilson’s resignation.”
Wilson was supervisor of the grand jury and the cold case unit.
“Christine Wilson has had the privilege of serving the residents of Lancaster County for 20 years,” Jack McMahon, Wilson’s attorney, said in a statement. “She is honored to have been able to help so many victims and families throughout her career. Christine Wilson has the utmost respect for law enforcement and the legal process.”
The case is being prosecuted by the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office because of a conflict of interest with the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office.
Wilson had been on leave before her resignation.
