The only way this case could get any dumber is if the DA had not resi...oh, right, she's still there.Tab8715 posted:Once the Rosemary Lehmberg - the Travis County DA was arrested for DUI and the ensuing drama unfolded. Supposedly Rick Perry or his office went behind closed doors and promised her a job if she resigned voluntarily. No jury will convict, even given the above. If there's no set mechanism for removing the chair of an ethics committee from office for a .239, you can spin that conversation as extraordinary measures. I'm not even sure it's spin. An offer of a lower ranking job to save face is something that would happen in a whole lot of other countries and in a non-politicized situation it wouldn't even raise an eyebrow.

Grand juries hear no exculpatory evidence and will indict a hand sandwich. Indictments are paperwork to go through (unless there's a cop involved lol) before getting to the important part. For a Texas jury to convict on these facts is going to take a minor miracle.Tab8715 posted:The Grand Jury (non-partisan or at the very least a mix of democrats/republicans) scrutinizes the special prosecutors review and if they feel beyond the benefit of a doubt there's wrong doing and indictment will be issued. Also, you got your standard of proof significantly wrong ("probable cause")
