#2 Many prosecutors get that way, especially when they retain the office for a long time. That's why we have a Bill of Rights. I trust Mr. DeLay also knows how to use the long arm of the law on Mr. Earle now that he has so egregiously overstepped the bounds of propriety. Think of the many who suffer equally at the hands of similar prosecutors without his resources.

#3 DeLay's legal team, led by Houston lawyer Dick DeGuerin, has been taking to the airwaves to portray Earle as an incompetent prosecutor who is pursuing DeLay only as a political vendetta.

Well, they're certainly doing a good job of it -- even Earle's going along with it.

#5 The thing t hat stood out through the whole article to me was the Judges party affiliation. The grand jury that didn't indict was impaneled by a Republican, the other two that did indict were impaneled by Democrats. Coincidence?

#6 Had a discusion with an investigator for the local prosecuters office one day.I ask him isn't it part of your job to discover the truth and seek justice,His response was"No my job is to put people in jail".This lead me to the conclusion that truth a justice is irrelavent,convictions are what is wanted.Seems to be the case here.

#7 That's why we have defence attorneys. In the civil law system, every body is looking for "truth and justice". And the defendant gets screwed. At least in our system there's one guy on your side and everybody else is out to get you.
