OJ Elrington Says He Resigned because He Got Busy

Ever since the U.D.P.’s legal advisor Orson “OJ” Elrington resigned from that position in January, speculation has been rife as to the reason for his sudden departure. Elrington has not publicly given his reason for the decision, so when Marion Ali caught up with him on Election Day in San Pedro, she asked him what triggered his resignation. He said, basically, he got busy with other matters.
