Please refresh your memory on this issue by reading this thread. There is some interesting dscussion about how this conviction came about

http://paceadvantage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77634

Tom Delay not only had his conviction vacated, he was summarily acquitted by the appeals court due to some of the facts discussed in the thread above.

Remember, they convicted Ted Stevens in Alaska using a similar tactic and the appeals court judge admonished the prosecutor and threw the case out. Then put enough pressure on the prosecutor that he quietly went away.......and is persona non grata in Alaska and the legal community

I hope Tommy appeals. They jumped through hoops to get this done. I don't think he is totally innocent, but when you see a legal stretch like this....something ain't right with the prosecutors case.

Please notice that Sec has not posted a single thing since 11-2

I wonder what happen on 11-2 to keep him from coming around ? ??

Coincidence ???? 3 weeks of hiding and up pops Sec.........
Since this was totally ignored by the lefties yesterday. I will commit the unbearable sin of quoting myself from way back.

This morning here in Texas, there appears to be a suggestion that at least two of the prosecutors who went after T. Delay by doing exactly what I described above, may be facing criminal charges of their own for making false statements on the charging documents so as to manipulate the laws to go after Delay. There are others who are suggesting disbarment as an alternative.

There is also talk that those same prosecutors will be deposed about their ties to Democratic operatives, in a lawsuit to force them to pay Delay's legal fees

I would say that Ronnie Earle s/b imprisoned for this witch hunt. But if they dig hard and deep enuff they'll find more people than just the sleazebag DA that was behind this

Odd isn't it? Wwhen he was found guilty it was front page news & first thing mentioned by ABC, MSNBC et al.....hardly a whisper of the latest development

Two different local radio shows talking about it here in Dallas. Should be interesting if it moves forward.
