  2. “[T]he written appointment purported to appoint Mr. Harris to be special prosecutor ‘in and for the Fifth Judicial District’ as a general matter. While we need not, and therefore do not, hold that the written appointment was ineffective solely due to this failing, we consider this failing to be an additional reason why the appointment of the special prosecutor in this case was ineffective.”
