Seriously, this is a community where many time offenders get to plea out to reckless driving or get time served from their arrest where they bonded out the next day.<br /><br />On that note, the biggest complaint made until very recently was that the BAT vans were so frequently sitting unused but I have yet to see anyone in the media or on this blog put the matter in perspective numerically. And while it is nice to play up the drama in the press, the results of the faultiest readings in those vans were ALWAYS self apparent and only a small part of the evidence, the real issue here being the lack of disclosure by Lykos and company about the mere possibility that on occasion, some readings may have been off a bit (intake has been notorious for denying charges in cases for the slightest of reasons, even those with a perfectly accurate reading over the limit).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-34925756089364954572011-11-01T21:22:16.882-05:002011-11-01T21:22:16.882-05:00To Ted Oberg:

It's patently obvious why: She is dodging Requests for Media Comment and SUBPOENAS. She didn't want to testify in the DWI trial last week and she certainly doesn't want to be subpoenaed to the 185th Grand Jury. Instead, she's getting her ADA's to act as shills for her so she can throw THEM under the bus. She got back from Hawaii Monday and is now laying low away from the office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-12482317030177475992011-11-01T20:17:34.472-05:002011-11-01T20:17:34.472-05:00I thought Lykos was well respected.

The fact that she is disdained more than ever after being the DA since 01/2009 says a lot more about her than the people who work there. If she was doing a decent job and treating people with any respect at all, she would actually be respected. This has not occurred. <br /><br />There are plenty of people who don't work for her who feel the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-74987425061221179102011-11-01T18:34:42.275-05:002011-11-01T18:34:42.275-05:00How is this issue any different than past brady is...How is this issue any different than past brady issues or refusal to test DNA?<br /><br />Y'all don't like the current DA. <br /><br />That's it.

Judge Lykos is who she is!<br /><br />The DA candidate floodgates are fixing to open so let's see who files in the coming weeks. The campaign will be a bloodbath for for sure. I googled Mike Anderson but couldn't find much on him except for the Houston Press praising him 10 years ago as a good judge. Zero name recognition but zero dirt so far. An old photo reminded me of the mustachioed Holmes and Rosenthal and I'll bet team Lykos will have a field day with that. He seems nice but OMG his one for all and all for one judicial races pivoted on the top of the ticket not his personal skills as a campaigner. It's a big jump from high school to the NFL. <br />Kelly Siegler will be attacked for calling a bunch of odd balls just that and for putting all those killers on death row. Jimmy Leitner will pretend to be relevant. The question remains will Patsy Lykos survive until election time? A Lykos run-off is our only worry if we are to save the office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-26404605470063062782011-11-01T16:16:31.286-05:002011-11-01T16:16:31.286-05:00On Rosenthal's worst day, the District Attorne...On Rosenthal's worst day, the District Attorney's Office didn't look this bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-18656358906879835282011-11-01T09:20:49.875-05:002011-11-01T09:20:49.875-05:00Maybe Ted Olberg could welcome Lykos back with ano...Maybe Ted Olberg could welcome Lykos back with another interview today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
