I had an email conversation recently with a friend who’s a prosecutor. I wrote: Our next DA needs to know that he or she is not part of a dynasty, is only temporary, is human and fallible, and answers ultimately to the families of the accused, who greatly outnumber the families of the victims. He [...]

I finally got the video of Kelly Siegler and Murray Newman’s appearance on Reasonable Doubt up and running. It’s not as high-res as I would like, but it’s watchable. Now stop bugging me.

I keep trying to upload the video of the February 21st Reasonable Doubt with Kelly Siegler and Murray Newman to Google Videos using the Google Video Uploader.

On the heels of Kelly Siegler’s realization that it was time for Chuck Rosenthal to resign (which itself followed only a month after Jim Leitner’s call for Chuck to resign), DA candidate Pat Lykos has discovered that it’s time for a change at the DA’s office. Now, if you’re running on Kelly’s “let the entrenched [...]

I asked here, “Is the fix in? Did Kelly get word that Chuck’s resignation is in the cards?” It appears that, indeed, the fix is in. Reports indicate that Chuck Rosenthal’s chief investigator (and right-hand man) John Ray Harrison was packing up Chuck’s office on Friday. Business as usual, then, at the Harris County DA’s [...]

Kelly Siegler, playing catch-up to Jim Leitner, has called for her boss’s, Chuck Rosenthal’s resignation. Better a month late than never, I always say. But Jim and Kelly are not the subjects of this post. The subjects of this post, referenced in the title, are DA candidates Doug Perry and Pat Lykos, who “said they [...]
