Sandi Rios was talking about it this morning. Her guest was one of the attorneys. Evidently, the prosecutor's took the least onerous of the unwinnable objections: that the GJ had violated Texas law and gone outside their mandate."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostNo, it most definitely ISN'T a technicality. A grand jury running wild should scare the pants off of you - it has enormous power. It acted improperly - WAY PAST improperly both under Texas law and in the basic ethics division.

Originally posted by Jaecp View PostThey made a procedural error, admitted it and asked for the case to be dismissed. Certainly looks like it was dismissed on something technical as opposed to the merits of the case, aka, a technicality. And yes, those technical aspects of the legal system are to protect us from malfeasance. This case was dismissed for such a violation and not for the grand jury "running wild" or whatever, but because the prosecutors office gave them extra information past a certain deadline."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
