Others on Holcomb
• Hamilton City Councilman Richard Holzberger, a fellow Democrat and longtime acquaintance: “He has kept away the opposition for two reasons: Fear of going against him and respect for the job that he has done. They know he's a rough, tough prosecutor.”
• Joyce Thall, former county recorder, Republican: “To me, he was always good and kind, but to others he was intimidating and threatening. A lot of people fear him, and he's one of these people who always thinks he's right on everything. I think if you are loyal to John, John will protect you to the death.”
• Robin Piper, political opponent: “Anyone who attempts to disagree with him becomes the subject of his public broadcasting and castigation — and that's not right.”
• Victoria Daiker, assistant prosecutor for 22 years: When an opposing attorney was “very nasty” to her, Mr. Holcomb told the man: “If I ever hear you say anything like that to this woman or to any of my other people again, I'm gonna tear your face off.” “(That) indicated was that we were together. We were this team.”
• Attorney Mike Gmoser, longtime friend and former law partner: “Maybe he doesn't go out there and pound the table anymore, (but) the record of this man is that he administrates well and he chooses wisely the prosecutors that he has.”
