Back in November, we editorialized that to get a better idea of how credible is the conviction of Tom DeLay, "look to the sentencing phase." Well, the sentence has been rendered and it's easy to see that the conviction has virtually no credibility.

Not only this case. He royally messed up the investigation to the "Yogurt Shop Murders" that happened here in 1991. He was a disgraceful partisan hack who screwed up whatever he touched.
Glad to see the public can get to some truth on this one.
I don’t know why this paper didn’t address the judge too. It was his duty to make sure justice was served here, and he should be held responsible for this miscarriage of justice.
His name is “Earle.” Nuf Sed. ;-)
America is in big trouble when they start putting people in prison because they don’t like their politics. That’s what the old Soviet Union and Red China does.
Great observations all around and I concur with every one!
Thank you Bigun.
He might:
“To the latter point, National Review notes that the prosecutor, Ronnie Earle, ‘indicted a number of companies, including Sears, that had made perfectly legal contributions to DeLay’s PAC, and then sold those companies dismissals in exchange for donations to one of his favorite charities.’”
Um, that’s called extortion, isn’t it?

Except in Travis County, Texas that is true!
It’s not extortion when BO’s pooh-bahs do it. Didn’t the great and powerful BO himself successfully extort $20 billion from BP just last year?
This says a lot also.
Ronnie Earle is a slime bucket. We all know this and know he railroaded this. I don’t understand the judge doing this.
Earle is the one that should be jailed.
Yogurt Shop Murders - Didn’t the prime suspect just get shot by the police in Austin?
BTW, the Travis County deputies have little respect for the crapweasel named Earle. One deputy asked me why I didn’t like Earle, I told him that Earle uses his office primarily for political fishing expeditions. He replied that it was a very good reason.
Earle even tried going after Bob Bullock. I think Bullock was ready to tear him into little pieces.
Three years is an absolute travesty. I sincerely hope that the sentence is overturned on appeal.
Yup, he was a hothead and had been in trouble with the law on several occasions during the past year or so. He ran a stop sign in a N. Austin neighborhood one recent Friday night. A short while later, he grabbed a police officers knife and stabbed the officer in the neck with it. Second later, the officer responded with lethal force. Karma and such for that POS Pierce.
