Texas Attorney General Goes to Trial. As the Defendant.

From Juanita Jean http://juanitajean.com/texas-attorney-general-goes-to-trial-as-the-defendant/


Just hours ago, we learned that Paxton will go to trial on the state charges on May 1st. Jury selection will be in mid to late April. All this is right in the middle of the legislative session and when people are starting to file to run against him.

In the criminal case, Paxton faces three felony charges of breaking Texas securities law. If convicted, he could be sent to prison for five to 99 years.

Last year, Paxton exhausted his options in trying to put an end to the criminal case. The final blow came in October, when Texas’ highest criminal court declined to hear a Paxton appeal.


Miss Karma is in the green room filing her nails and considering her options. That makes me so happy.
