She refused to sign such a statement because she never said a single word to the special prosecutor. The elected DA then gave her a choice--resign or be fired. She emphatically refused to resign because she didn't do anything wrong. Thus, she was escorted out of the building and fired!!!!

They see, on a daily basis, how disproportional punishment is for youthful offenders who commit some relatively minor offense, who then have it branded onto their record for life. Without the constraint of the current DA's prohibition on pretrial diversion, these defense lawyers are free to offer up a more just resolution of the cases. I know it looks like favoritism, but (in my opinion) it's not.

I was booked in jail just before midnight and released shortly after midnight receiving credit for 2 days in jail. This negated the fine for the offense and I didn't get any indication that I needed to go to court to follow up. Just book, release, and nothing. Well, now my record shows a conviction for Fraud, somehow morphing from a Class C misdemeanor to what appears to most as a felony. I can't tell you how many times this has cost me a job. That was over 20 years ago and here I sit. Unemployed. Again. Because of this stupid teenager thing. And I don't have any recourse under Texas law to get it changed. This is very frustrating seeing all the high class misdemeanors and felonies wiped away on the privileged while I continue to get punished for a Class C misdemeanor committed over 20 years ago. I wish someone could help.JJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-56918845455708334062013-06-24T15:45:41.718-05:002013-06-24T15:45:41.718-05:00no 1:23 it's not who you know!
