When Official Woman Kills
The ordinarily-effete Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct, faced with bad press and public outcry (including a complaint from HCCLA), has grown some backbone and initiated formal public proceedings against Sharon Keller.

It looks to me like Court of Criminal Appeals General Counsel Edward Marty is going to have some explaining to do at the time of the final reckoning.

Just so you know, Ed Marty is no longer GC for the CCA – he reitred last year.
A little too late for Mr. Richard.
