DeLay Appears in Houston for Booking
2005-10-20
Rep. Tom DeLay turned himself Thursday in at the Harris County sheriff's bonding office, where he was photographed, fingerprinted and released on bond on state conspiracy and money laundering charges.
"He posted $10,000 bond and they have left the bonding office," Lt. John Martin with the sheriff's department said.
No perp walk in handcufs, the left will be so disapointed
DeLay, accompanied by his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, showed up about 12:15 p.m., appeared before a judge and was gone in less than 30 minutes, Martin said.
"How do you plead?"
"Not guilty"
"Ok"
The appearance came a day after a state court issued an arrest warrant for DeLay and set an initial bail, a routine step before the Texas Republican's first court appearance Friday in Austin. He had been expected to appear for booking in Bend County, but went to Houston instead. Under Texas law he could check in anywhere in the state.
The Smoking Gun has his mug shot. Another disapointment for the Dems, it looks great.

#9  Nice mugshot, and the lapel pin adds a nice touch, too. Let the games begin. I hope that Mr. Earle reaps what he sows. His trolling for friendly or intimidated grand juries is a discrace to American justice.

#7  Lol - that is one GREAT mugshot, lol.

Here's to the end of Ronnie The Fuckwit Earle. May he go down in flames, er, I mean to prison for abuse of office. Man, what a butt-buddy he'd make in Huntsville, lol. Not that he put anyone there, he's a political cretin, but a DA, whew! wotta prize he'd be. Passed around more 'n Betty Phuxalot at the keggers.

#5  The judge who is going to hear the case is said to be a MoveOn supporter. I'm guessing that could mean a Motion to Dismiss won't go too far.

But could you imagine how apeshit they'd go if it were granted? :)

#2  DU seems pretty ticked off at the appearance of the mugshot. (No link... it is easy to find over there.)

#1  That IS a great looking 'mugshot'. If newsies were planning to use it going forward... it looks as good or better than a purpose-taken campaign ad shot.

How freakin' demoralizing has that got to be?
