You are reading a Def lawyer’s motion.
There is no prohibition against jail’s/Sheriff’s use of recordings in any way they saw fit. In the cited case, SA recused. There will be dozens of cases cited in the reply to the motion where SA did not recuse, as he has no duty to do so.
Notice Def counsel said SA “did the honorable thing.” He did not claim the SA was under any obligation to do so.
Def lawyer and Def stupidly spoke on an unsecured line. Now they are paying the penalty for such stupidity.
So you’re basically saying that the Hunt County DA and the district court judge just recused themselves for the fun of it?
That they didn’t have anything better to do that day?
Or did they realize they screwed up?
