Prosecutor honored who dismissed charges against Anthony Graves

The Dallas News nominated Kelly Siegler, former Harris County DA candidate and the prosecutor who dismissed charges against Anthony Graves, as a finalist for its Texan of the Year honor. The recognition is well deserved - and may even revive her political prospects, broadening her image from that of simply disgraced DA Chuck Rosenthal's heir apparent - but among the News' Texan of the Year nominees so far, I think I might vote for these folks.

Texan of the year? Hands down, Governor Rick Perry and the Texas Republican Party.

Dude deserves all the kudos he gets.

In fact, put his statue in front of the court house, just above the monument of the 10 Commandments. That way people will know WTF it means.

Misplaced priorities if you ask me. Considering, why isn't Anthony Graves, himself, a finalist for Texan of the Year?

I think Texan of the year needs to be every one that has ever had to deal with the legal side of Texas and even after they completed their sentences must continue to be under the thumb of laws that get passed to thwart their rights that were supposed to be restored.

This is a wonderful question.

There was no evidence in the case. A dismissal was a no-brainer. Someone should be recognized for that? Seriously?
