AUSTIN – Several members of the grand jury that indicted Gov. Rick Perry said Tuesday that his claim the indictment was based more on politics than substance is unfair and disrespectful to the months of work they put in.
The jury, which met weekly for four months, "really tried to keep an open mind and come to a fair decision given all the testimony that we heard," said Janna Bessin, one of the 12 Travis County residents appointed to serve on the grand jury.
"It's too bad," Bessin said, calling the criticism unfair. "But I guess that his side's job – to really spin it.".............

Nice try, Chronicle.
You probably think that Obama actually earned his college degrees too.
If the people on this grand jury want to run their mouths to the media, then let Perry’s lawyers question them in front of the cameras.
Ha ha ha...best one of the week
there is nothing ‘grand ‘ about most grand juries , they are just their to rubber stamp whatever the prosecutors want to hand them , get the ball rolling for the state , money for the lawyers , to justify seizures
Good ol’ Rho just handed Perry a gift.
This indictment is transparently corrupt and all it serves to do is put the drunk DA back in the spot light for ridicule.
“Grand jurors deny politics played role in Perry indictment”
GREAT!!!
Then maybe THEY can also allow that Perry wasn’t playing politics in his actions EITHER!!!

“But I guess that his side’s job – to really spin it.”
Spoken like a hard core RAT
And WHY, exactly, is a member of the grand jury speaking to the press about secret proceedings?!

Sure.
LOL. Yeah, and Obama really knows what he’s doing as President.
Thanks for the laugh, Austin Grand Jury!
Unfortunately, I have no idea who would be the authority that would file the contempt of court charges.

Going after a grand jury member for talking about secret proceedings to issue felony warrant against a Republican would be blatantly political... ;)
Leave it to the Houston Chronicle to turn a story of a completely outrageous political prosecution into a sob story about how mean old Rick Perry is picking on those poor, defenseless grand jurors. It even has a picture of Perry looking angry and aggressive.
Obviously the grand jurors don’t care about the law, since it is illegal for them to be talking to the press about grand jury proceedings.
LOL! GOOD! If these fools want to rock with the 'iron rule of law', I say - let's roll it right over them!
I'm tired of Republicans being their doormat!
