Texas Justice
An indictment of Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina and his wife for arson – along with at least 30 other unrelated indictments stemming from an alleged mortgage scam – was thrown out after an assistant district attorney improperly worded a request to extend the grand jury's term, but not before igniting a firestorm.
After a grand jury returned an indictment against Judge Medina, the Harris County District Attorney's office dropped the charges, claiming insufficient evidence to go to trial. The District Attorney, Chuck Rosenthal, is also under investigation for allegedly sending campaign-related, pornographic, and racist emails through his work email account as well as allegedly deleting 2,500 emails ordered released as part of a civil rights lawsuit against the county's Sherriff's Department.

Interesting new development with the emails. This case has been very suspicious... in fact, Texas' Supreme Court has been weird the last week.
It looks very suspicious to me. Is it possible the the DA is covering for the judge, who might be helping him with his case? The claim of insufficient evidence might be BS, and the ADA might have improperly worded the request to extend the grand jury's term at his boss's instruction.
