Justifying Actions In Travis County
KLBJ Radio | Jarhead1957

Posted on 09/30/2005 7:46:07 AM PDT by Jarhead1957

KLBJ Radio had a call today from the Foreman of the Grand Jury who stated that Ronnie Earle presented compelling evidence against Tom DeLay. Seems he is trying to justify their actions. /Sarc

Give Travis County Back to Mexico

Just wait for me to move out of it first. I'd hate to get caught behind yet another enemy line...

I don't know about this tarnished business. It wasn't until this came out that I even knew Earle had indicted Hutchinson three times! That really tarnished her...sarcasm. Somehow I don't think the tarnish thing is going to happen this time...except to tarnish Earle and the Dims.

I worked in a DA's office for ten years, and you are right, but I have seen some real slugs on Grand Juries.

It depends on how they are chosen.

I read here that Earle went to SIX grand juries before he got the indictment. Anyone know anything about that?

Political future, he will retire, God willing.

For those of you who have never been on a Grand Jury or for those who are not familiar with the system a Grand Jury is a formality and a rubber stamp.

Does seem strange that it took five grand juries to find one that could be convinced to indite. That is four more than it takes to indite a ham sandwich.

That's a good tagline.

Maybe the others were busy with the ham sandwiches.

I have know Dick DeGuerin since he started practice with Percy Foreman. Percy taught him well, and I look forward to the trial. Knowing Dick DeGuerin, there will be one. He made Ronnie Earle go to trial on Kay's case. In which the DA had no evidence to present.

Hope it makes Court TV, if not I will have to post to keep ya'll informed.

From the AP

However, the grand jury's foreman, William Gibson, told The Associated Press that Earle didn't pressure members to indict DeLay. "Ronnie Earle didn't indict him. The grand jury indicted him," Gibson said in an interview at his home.

Time to to some checking on Mr. Gibson

He is making the rounds: However, the grand jury's foreman, William Gibson, told The Associated Press that Earle didn't pressure members to indict DeLay. "Ronnie Earle didn't indict him. The grand jury indicted him," Gibson said in an interview at his home.

Gibson, 76, a retired sheriff's deputy, said of DeLay: "He's probably doing a good job. I don't have anything against him. Just something happened."

I was on a grand jury once and the answer to your question is: yes, completely. Exposing your identity may lead to possible mistrial.
