Activist judges overturn conviction of Tom "Bugsy" DeLay

What evidence?.....gotta let this Republican walk!

;-)

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's conviction on money laundering charges was overturned today by a court in Texas.
DeLay, who was once one of the most powerful men on Capitol Hill, was convicted in 2010 for allegedly trying to influence Texas elections by trying to channel nearly $200,000 in corporate donations to Republicans running for the state legislature, which is prohibited by Texas state law. Delay, who served more than two decades in the House before resigning in 2006, was sentenced to three years in prison.

"Because we conclude that the evidence was legally insufficient to sustain DeLay's convictions, we reverse the judgments of the trial court and render judgments of acquittal," said an opinion from the District Court of Travis County, Texas.

HaHahahahahahaa!!!

This is, without doubt, one of the greatest "I told you so's" I've experienced on these forum pages.

Great news, and yet another example of you libs getting it wrong due to politics and hate- and your aversion to the FACTS.

Yeah sure, better to back the nefarious actions of the partisan lefty wildman Ronnie Earle and his Crusade against DeLay. Why do the left wish to defend and associate with the world's filthiest scum?

A court found him guilty. Another court disagreed....now here is a surprise.

"Justice Melissa Goodwin of Austin wrote the majority opinion, joined by visiting Justice David Gaultney. Both are Republicans." The dissenting vote was cast by Chief Justice J. Woodfin "Woodie" Jones, a Democrat.

If you were at all familiar with the case you'd know that DeLay broke the law. If you don't like the law that is one thing, but the timing of the funds transfer was clearly a quid pro quo and illegal.

A jury sorted through the evidence and found him guilty. Judge Priest, appointed to preside over the case by Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson, a Republican, conducted a fair and impartial trial and delivered the sentence.

A jury was overturned by two republicans protecting one of their own....

Jeez, two Republican hack judges overrule the jury and set Bugsy free.

I know we are all shocked by this development.

Actually, the charges were contrived and it took Earle, what, 5 or was it 6 grand juries to even sustain the flimsiest of them. This was a doomed political crusade from the beginning and only now has it been set right.
Like I've said all along.
