Decision nears on Workman
Utah County Attorney Kay Bryson said the panel, which met Wednesday, now has most but not all of the information it needs to decide whether to charge Workman.
Workman's attorney, Ron Yengich, wants the panel to consider documents that he has not yet provided, and Bryson said the panel is willing to wait.
"We want to be fair to everybody, make sure we're fair and thorough," he said.
The panel is scheduled to meet next week, when it "possibly" will reach a decision, Bryson said.
Salt Lake County District Attorney David Yocom convened the panel consisting of county attorneys (or their representatives) from Utah, Summit, Davis and Weber counties in June to remove any conflict of interest inherent in a district attorney charging the chief executive of his own county with a crime.
The panel has met from time to time since then, discussing the case and requesting additional evidence.
"I'm not the one making the decision," he has said.
County investigators have interviewed the two employees involved and others who worked at the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Valley and were supervised by Workman's daughter, Aisza Wilde. They have also talked to employees of the county health department, which was the source of the money used to pay their salaries.
Last week, panel members questioned Workman for two hours on the matter.
