DeLay should have never been charged to begin (the law he was accused of breaking wasn't even in effect at the time).

Former Travis County DA Ronnie Earl made engaging in politics a crime... a crime that only republicans can be indicted on/found guilty over.

I trust the guilty verdict will be thrown out on appeal and DeLay gets his good name back.

Yes, but then can he pursue criminal charges against Ronnie Earl? That would appear to be as clear cut a case of prosecutorial malpractice as one could imagine.
