A former justice of the peace who is now a top suspect in the deaths of a Texas district attorney and his wife is expected to be charged with capital murder this week, law enforcement authorities said.

Eric Lyle Williams, 46, was arrested Saturday on a charge of making a terroristic threat and is being held in the Kaufman County Jail on $3 million bond. His arrest came after federal and local agents investigating the March 28 deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, searched Williams' home on Friday. Williams was prosecuted by McLelland last year for theft.

This was 24/7 headline, above the fold news for days on end all the way out here in California!!
(While there has been little to NO news about the Gosnell horror).

We were told repeatedly that it was a White Supremacist that killed the Texas DA — and that Sarah Palin or Republicans made him do it!!

You mean to tell me that the media lied to us!!??

But for the testimony of Lieutenant Colonel Troy Nesbitt at the computer theft trial of Eric Williams last year, the McClellands and Mark Hasse would still be alive today. The judge was persuaded by the glowing praise of EW and a statement by Nesbitt that EW “has had the key to the armory because I trust him and he has had hundreds of thousands of dollars in weapons that he had access to, and never has anything come up missing”. The judge granted probation rather than a prison term to EW based on that testimony. Otherwise, EW would be in prison and his victims would still be alive.
Perhaps Nesbitt’s testimony should be tested. Perhaps the FBI should audit the 20 guns, gun parts, and other equipment found in possession of EW and determine if it was stolen from the Red Bird Armory. If so, he should perhaps receive a federal charge also, and perhaps there needs to be more scrutiny of Nesbitt’s testimony, to see if he was lying. After all, we don’t need to have more false testimony from Nesbitt at EW’s murder trial. I wonder if Nesbitt’s testimony was a direct result from subornation from Nesbitt’s superiors.
