This is the same county (and county seat) in which Humpy Parker ruled for a number of years until the Tx Rangers came in and cleaned it up. sigh. Finally over Friday. Guilty verdict class 2 felony , (assault with a deadly weapon) and after a long line of friends and neighbors testified on the shooter's behalf, the jury gave him 5 years probated sentence. He could have gotten 20 years hard time. The prosecutor, previous to the verdict and sentencing had stated he would be content and satisfied with whatever the jury said in either instance, but once the jury selected basically the least severe sentence, he came back and asked the judge for the defendant to be immediately remanded into custody for 60 days, AND that every year for 5 years, that he serve 90 days Oct-Jan1 as part of his probation. (He had promised in full court, to the 'victim' and his mother that they would get to see the defendant walk out of the courtroom in shackles and handcuffs) Judge looked at him, said emphatically "NO!-and stop being an ass". The prosecutor is new, had previously worked in Harris County, then in Montgomery County (was reportedly fired from Montgomery county) and ended up here and is going to be running for DA next year. He will not win. In my opinion, the conviction was a travesty of justice and for the 1st time in 72 years, I have lost faith in the US justice system. I'm still pizzed about the whole thing. Strong words to come later. 82-T/A [At Work] MAY 01, 12:28 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: In my opinion, the conviction was a travesty of justice and for the 1st time in 72 years, I have lost faith in the US justice system.
