Cheers for Horn AND the sensible Harris County grand jury!
Does this mean there’s hope yet for juries? After OJ and Scooter Libby, I’ve lost a lot of confidence in our jury of peers system.

You beat me to it. Ping for a neighbor being a neighbor. I’d like to shake that man’s hand and tell him that he is a hero for what he’s been through. Hopefully the thugs’ families won’t sue him in civil court.

Jury to Quannell X: Go pound sand.
I was pretty sure this was what was going to happen, contrary to the opinions of non-Texan FReepers.

If I were Horn I’d be more worried about civil liability nonsense than criminal charges. It doesn’t seem terribly surprising that a texas jury was reasonable. If ever there were a place that had juries with their heads on straight, I’m sure texas would be that place.

I am going to hazard a guess that the ruling by the SCOTUS played a part in this!(probably not really but it sounds good doesn’t it?) I never did know why they charged this guy, I would have given him more ammo and told him to keep watch on the rest of the neighborhood, made him an honorary police officer. I guess that is why I am not in charge of anything in this state:)

Do you--or anybody else out there happen to have a copy of the video where Quannell X is forced out of town by the neighbors?
I loved that video---but have lost it somewhere.

It will be interesting to see what happens out in the neighborhood now that the announcement has been made. I saw a bunch of protestors on tv stating they were on standby to march protest if the GJ didn’t indict. The police had indicated a beefed up detail just in case and I think even Quanell X was involved.

Obviously the jury was stacked with rich, white, SUV-driving, racist right-winger Republican extremist gun-nuts employed by big-gun. /sarcasm
Great news! Does this put the issue to rest?

To: The_Victor
In Texas, the charging decision in felony cases is made by a jury (grand jury), and not by the prosecutor. The theory is that it lessens the political considerations. In a case like this, it’s a win-win, because it takes the heat off the prosecutor, who would be criticized regardless of what he/she decided.
