That just deals with the indictments. The judge could still dismiss the remaining charges against Tom.

On the ML charge, Delay's Attorney's have a motion to dismiss because of Prosecutorial misconduct. The Judge wouldn't hear that motion last month, saying they needed to wait until this ruling.

The ML charge was unlikely to be dismissed out-of-hand, their argument being that a check isn't cash, something I imagine a judge isn't willing to jump on. But the ML charge is the one that is more likely to fall to a misconduct charge because of the WAY it was obtained, shopping the charge to different grand juries.

It is also the harder charge to prove, I believe, than the "conspiracy" charge, which I think was why Earle went for conspiracy first.

And since Earle seems to not have the "evidence" he claimed to have to prove the ML charge, that might be another reason to dismiss.

Of course, because one charge still stand, MSM will say this is a defeat.

Not one I bet will point out that the charge just dismissed is the charge that led to DeLay stepping down, and was the one all the democrats claimed that first week proved how corrupt DeLay was.

I was just thinking the same thing. I guess now we have to wait to have all the news we hear on TV confirmed by a separate source. Goes even for Fox.Thats ok.. we already know that we can't believe everything we hear on TV... includes all "news" sources.

Conspiracy charges thrown out; money laundering issues still remain per Neil Cavuto.

People, you are over-reacting. DeLay still faces at least one serious charge. The fact that he didn't get the whole indictment dismissed means that he is gone, for the time being, as a House leader. This was the Rats' goal, and they've achieved it.

They, not we, are the winners today.

I like the thought but I don't believe satisfaction over Justice being served and an innocent man being vindicated is technically schadenfreude.

Now, delight over Ronnie "The Nail" Earl being convicted on campaign finance charges, that would be schadenfreude.

"DeGuerin had asked to have the indictments dismissed because of prosecutorial misconduct. Priest said he would hear that motion only if he upheld the indictments against the legal challenges."

This is devastating news for Ronnie Earle, as his prosecutorial misconduct will be argued next.
