Tuesday night the Houston Chronicle published a story about the grand jury that indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Those grand jurors who spoke with the Chronicle broke the law to do so, and they knew that they were breaking the law. They claimed that they were speaking to the newspaper to counter Gov. Perry’s “spin” on the case.
That’s not the job of a grand jury, by the way.
One of them is a woman named Rho Chalmers. Chalmers tried to get around her lawbreaking by attempting to build this wall of implausible deniability.
Rho Chalmers, who name matches that of a grand juror but would only confirm her service on a jury that ended last week, said grand juries involve careful consideration of facts.
“For me, it’s not a political decision,” Chalmers said. “That’s what a grand jury is about – take the emotion out of it and look at the facts and make your best decision based on your life experience.”
As I asked in the original post about this, how many “Rho Chalmers” can there be out there?
The answer is “not many,” as it’s an unusual name.
So let’s meet Rho Chalmers, Perry grand juror, and active delegate to the Texas Democratic Party’s state convention.
Mediatrackers picks up that story.
More troubling, however, is the fact that Chalmers attended, photographed, and commented on an event with Democratic state Sen. Kirk Watson while grand jury proceedings were ongoing. Watson was a witness in front of the grand jury. On June 27, 2014, Chalmers shared a photo of the Watson event on a community Facebook page she started called Developer’s Dungeon. “Senator Kirk Watson telling the story of the Wendy Davis fillibuster (sic),” she wrote in a comment accompanying the picture.

Grand juries are impaneled for a set period of time. They have a list of cases.
Don’t take much to fool a conservative...
They have this “mania” about being “FAIR”...
They will stoop over backwards to be fair..
Perform airobatic loops and land with a smile to be “FAIR”..
Pull their pants down and assume the position “to be fair”..
Must be why BOHICA is their motto.. i.e. bend over here it comes again..
You be doin' juss fine!
Travis County is one of the most liberal enclaves in the state. I’m surprised they all aren’t big libs.
ROFL!
Where is the Conservative “Travis” County in Texas. Fight fire with fire. Indict this woman for a start!
There's got to be something in the Texas Penal Code that says a woman can be indicted for simply being a nasty b---h. She certainly qualifies.
Grand juries aren’t a trier of facts. They sit for a period of time and on their
days in session info is provided by the DA regarding potential illegal activites.
If they believe enough info is provided then they can issue an indictment after which
a trial may be held.
“Hey, Lefty: “a real Grand Jury” impaneled by a “Republican Prosecutor” just like you said...”
Lets see what happens.
