Attorney General Maura Healey has concluded that Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins committed no civil rights violations or crimes in a Christmas Eve incident in which she allegedly threatened another driver.
Healey referred the matter to the state ethics commission, which investigates possible violations of the stateâs conflict of interest and ethics laws.
First Assistant Attorney General Mary Strother acknowledged, in her letter closing the investigation, that video footage that might have captured the incident was not available: âThe cameras focused on the area where this incident occurred were either poor quality, far away, or were not functioning.â
