[Paleo Conservative]

mondoreb:
Joe Horn fired up a tremendous debate for 2007-8. 80 years ago, the only debate would have been: why Horn's case was even considered by the Grand Jury.

Brilliant:
It’s a shame the liberal idiots insisted that this had to go to a grand jury.

Because homicide and murder have no statute of limitations. Under Texas law if a grand jury returns a "no-bill" (no indictment) a future district attorney would be prohibited from reopening the case unless there were new evidence. This protects people from being indicted by any politically ambitious but uncscrupulous prosecutor like a Spitzer reopening a case for no reason other than noteriety and self promotion. Also, the "no-bill" will protect Mr. Horn from civil suits along with the new "castle doctrine" law that became effective last year.

Excellent points!

I’m going to forward your comment to LBG for follow up. Thanx!

The 911 tape is priceless.
