“DeSoto County’s success is no accident,” DeSoto County District Attorney Matthew Barton said. “It’s a culmination of top-tier schools, committed public servants, strategic choices and the valorous efforts of law enforcement.” (Rob Moore/The Daily Memphian file)
In his first 100 days as district attorney, Matthew Barton has initiated the first phase of his grand jury restructuring plan, created a new task force to expedite the apprehension of violent criminals and created the agency’s first-ever Public Corruption Division.
