In his second week of office, Nathan Vasquez, the district attorney for Multnomah County, has a long list of things he needs to get done.
In a major departure from his predecessor, Vasquez announced on Wednesday that his office would no longer support Frank F. Swopes’ mercy appeal. Swopes had been imprisoned for 32 years in state prison for a home invasion in Portland and had requested to be released three years early.
