Kaufman county DA and his wife murdered in home

[mikec]

Just heard it on the news on the radio.

I don't need to provide a "link". If I tell you a rooster can pull a box-car, go hook him up. ;-)

So, no link?

Haha that is funny. Reminds me of something my dad would say.

How did he F*** a bunch of people? Do you have some inside info? He didn't do the crimes, that I know of. The people he put in jail did. He just did his job.

Yeah, we don't have any issues in this country with overzealous / wrongful prosecution. I'm not saying this guy did that - and I'm damn sure not saying he didn't - but it does happen and it does ruin people's lives.

I'd like to see a punishment system for prosecutors of wrongful convictions. A system of checks and balances if you will. It might keep them from railroading innocent people just to pad their stats.

As for the specific case, I would really like to see how this turns out. Are we turning into Mexico?

All I can find is him saying he feels "security detail" is required...

I stand corrected. Unhook that rooster!

Oh it's OK for them to have guns to protect themselves.... it's just not OK for you to have one to protect yourself.

Anyone else find it interesting that Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins, a pro-gun control/anti-stand-your-ground advocate, has now instructed all prosecutors to obtain their CHL? I LMMFAO! Now that they feel the need to defend themselves, it's not only OK, but semi-mandated by a gun control advocate. I love it.

Linky?!

As suspected AB is on top of the people responsible for this but fact is he was handling 3 big cases worth considering. One is a money laundering/embezzling case the guy is from Houston. It was north of 40million apparently so it's worth considering he could be a suspect.
Then there's the horse racing money laundering case involving a certain cartel.
And finally an AB member case involving meth of course.
This is what I've heard. It will definitely interesting to see this play out.

You still have a right to a jury trial. I'm just saying. No one says you have to plea out your case to whatever the state is offering.

While true, people are stupid, and fall for the used car sales style threats the DA's and LE use as a tactic.

I disagree will just about every law put on the books since about 1910 that tramples on personal freedom. Drug laws, gun laws, laws that say that the state has a greater right to your property then you do, laws that allow the agents of the state to search your car, your home and your person, etc.....

Are you saying that it is your belief that a system that has beaten down the rights of the individual by such a degree that most defendants feel compeled to "Plead out" to anything that they are charged with is proof that DAs don't screw people?

It is for sure linked to the AB. All the details will come out just watch and see.
