Also included on that list is a prosecutor who tried and convicted a former Harris County Sheriff's Deputy for murder. That list included prosecutors who handled some of the most heinous crimes in the county. It also includes some of the most astute legal minds to have ever graced the hallways of 1201 Franklin. Contrary to the assertions made by some, convictions in Harris County aren't automatic (just ask Clint Greenwood...twice). That list includes someone who is now the Galveston County DA, at least 3 Assistant US Attorneys, prosecutors in other jurisdictions, several Harris County District Court and CCL judges and successful criminal defense attorneys. That list also includes Kelly Siegler. Since she lost in the 2008 Republican primary, she secured a death sentence for someone who shot and killed a Texas Game Warden, and she helped secure the release of Anthony Graves. I don't know what they smoke on the planet that you're from, but the collective wisdom and experience on that list rivals no other collection of prosecutors that I've ever been associated with. I am sad that those men and women are no longer employed by the Harris County DA's office. I am happy that most of them have gone on to bigger and better things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-60641085316531030622012-05-25T10:52:54.110-05:002012-05-25T10:52:54.110-05:00Anon 12:54 AM,

I was just sick and tired of bending over and taking it. In fact, the vast majority of the people on Murray's list were upstanding prosecutors who sought only to do justice. So, don't paint too broadly with your brush. Some people that are still at the office can't "stand and deliver" (many of Lykos' personal hires), and the ones that can are anxious for Lykos to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-13899945306767083932012-05-25T09:41:54.454-05:002012-05-25T09:41:54.454-05:00Why do you call them rednecks?

In the twenty-five years that I worked for the office I suspect that the number was never greater than 3-5 per year at that level. By the way why does Jim Barr advertise that he is Judge Barr in his commercials? Have I missed something and that he is "judging" again? These perpetual titles that these people assume (it seems that most of them do it)is disingenuous. Query: a general question only to those election law experts out there - is calling oneself a particular elected title, regardless of the office, when that is no longer the case possibly a Class A misdemeanor under 255.006(b) of the Election Code? <br />Calvin A.
