My mother and uncle are attorneys, and I have worked for them and some of their friends. I have heard and seen their fellow defense attorneys lament over several scotchs, the impossibility of a fair shot in these cases. Each time a case like this popped up and went to trial, it never went well. And some of the clients, I believe, were truly innocent, but frightened at the prospect of going to trial, staring down the barrel of 10 years in prison, and facing a jury with an undoubtedly irreversible bias before the facts are presented, which are few and far between in these cases. Hopefully, for Mr. Grayson, this case will never see the Grand Jury. He is a bright, committed teacher with awards(2009 NOVA award from the Texas Council of the Social Studies) and a personal interest in carrying forward the change that his father could have made. If we had more teachers like this at the helms of classrooms across the country, then maybe there would be hope; hope of dispensing with the stupidity that substitutes accusations and investigations for a "throw away the key" mentality, and ultimately ruins lives. We do not know the content of these text messages. That is a concrete fact. And the fact that we do not know the content of the text messages is the only thing we know. So I hope and pray, for Mr. Grayson's sake, that the populace will not convict him in the court of public opinion, armed with stupidity and ignorance, and will not ruin his life (again) by stoning him before he has a chance to prove his case. You are in my most ardent of prayers, Mr. Grayson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-20400010066339488352012-04-30T17:58:19.992-05:002012-04-30T17:58:19.992-05:00I think it much more appropriate to pray for his t...I think it much more appropriate to pray for his two little children.

It's law enforcement's "dirty little secret", and one we are committed to exposing. Police officers use their positions of trust to violate our children. Their victims are threatened with physical harm and told no one will believe their word over that of a police officer. And often, police officers will threaten their victim's family with death in order to silence their victim. <br /><br />Please visit our Facebook pages and learn why cops are so sexually attracted to little children and even infants, and sometimes even animals. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tribute-to-survivors-of-child-sexual-assault-by-law-enforcement-officers/180584842010594<br /><br />Psychiatrists have acknowledged for decades that sex crimes aren't about sex at all but about power and control over others. And just who in our society desires power and control more than those who pursue careers in law enforcement? <br /><br />And remember, almost 90% of convicted child sex offenders admit to wanting a career in law enforcement at one time or another...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-24142458912152343532012-04-27T08:23:25.099-05:002012-04-27T08:23:25.099-05:00Sec. 481.121(a), Health & Safety Code, makes i...Sec. 481.121(a), Health & Safety Code, makes it an offense to possesses a usable quantity of marihuana.
