Congratulations are in order to my good friend, Patty Sedita, for getting the Jeri Montgomery case reversed with an order of acquittal by the 14th Court of Appeals. The opinion is a very interesting read.
If you will recall, Ms. Montgomery was the young lady convicted of Criminally Negligent Homicide for being involved in an automobile fatality while talking on her cell phone. She was convicted and sentenced to ten years probation. As a parting shot, name-calling enthusiast and Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos called Ms. Montgomery "selfish and narcissistic".
No word yet on whether or not Lykos will be retracting her name calling and issuing an apology.
Kind of doubt it.
