"Who's my prosecutor?" he asked the officers in April. "It's not Lisa Fletcher, is it?"

"Well, it's obvious," the suspect said. "It's Lisa Fletcher, this is the Northern District, and I know I'm never getting out of prison."

Another man accused of possessing child pornography in Central New York was arrested in California and transported to a Syracuse jail. A fellow inmate facing federal child porn charges told him he'd heard Syracuse had become the center of the child pornography-prosecuting universe.
