This clown should have to serve exactly the same amount of time as the man he wrongfully sent to prison. Not one single minute less.

[pepsionice]

And what other cases did he withhold info? They will have to spend a year or two going back and reviewing every single case.

[rfreedom4u]

spend 10 days in jail

Ten days!!!??? That’s it? What the hell? This guy should be in prison for the same amount of time that was taken from the wrongly convicted. Either that or sentence him to be the wrongly convicted man’s servant for 25 years.

[CorporateStepsister]

I am so glad this precedent has been set; this is historical.

[CorporateStepsister]

Even better, put him on death row; that is where murderers often go in Texas.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He Nifonged. He's what liberals call a good lawyer.

[Tennessee Nana]

personally I wouldn’t trust him to be my dog poop scooper...

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Tell me about it, he should be given at least 25 years.

[vbmoneyspender]

Notice that the cop-turned-judge that was convicted was convicted not in California or New York or Illinois but in Texas. The lesson is simple. If you want your rights protected, don’t look to liberals or the states they control. What they are most interested in is accruing power to the state.

[TurkeyLurkey]

The guy should have been sent up for 25 years.

[billorites]

Reminds me of the Massachusetts crime lab scandal in which over 1,100 cases were dismissed or tossed out due to tainted evidence.

[gasport]

The “judge” should pay the wronged a sum = to the “judge’s” income for 25 yrs.

[TurkeyLurkey]

I’m glad I live in Texas.

[Seruzawa]

Them lawyers sure take care of each other, don’t they?

[zek157]

10 days in jail is a joke.

Boiled rope is a better solution when all else fails.

[MHT]

Wish the same would happen to the Boone County, Missouri team that prosecuted and saw the wrongful conviction of Ryan Ferguson. They took the made-up story of a convicted pedophile and hallucinations of a drug addict over a young man who lost ten years of his life fighting their political ambition.

The answer--LAWSUITS against the lawyers!

[Red Badger]

give up his law license, perform 500 hours of community service, and spend 10 days in jail.

Vs 25 years of a man's life spent in hell for a crime he didn't commit?.....................another injustice served upon this poor man...............

[I want the USA back]

10 days in jail?
Anyone who uses the full force of the law enforcement establishment against a known innocent person MUST serve the exact same penalty as the wrongfully accused.
No exceptions for democrats.

Prosecutor Will Go to Jail

Ten days isn't jail time........this isn't even a slap on the wrist.
