why one should ALWAYS carry your weapon

[two_bit_score]

At least in the last election the good voters of Williamson county threw the DA John Bradley from office and replaced him on the Republican ballot with Jana Duty. She seems honest and hopefully will do a good job for the good citizens of Williamson county.

The rest if the hooligans masquerading as law enforcement officials in Williamson should beware. I don't think DA Duty will shirk her duty to keep things honest.


Here is a starting point for looking at the Morton case.

Justice has not always been "just" in Williamson county. Google Michael Morton and you will find many stories about an innocent man who was convicted of killing his wife on evidence manipulated, altered and hidden by a district attorney, later elected judge, who is now under investigation by a state panel for the misconduct he committed during the Morton trial in order to gain a conviction of an innocent man.

A one time slip up? No. That type of thing has been intrinsic in "Wilco" for years. Also google John Bradley and you will find out about the "Wilco" district attorney who fought testing of the DNA evidence which cleared Michael Morton. He fought it not once but over about a seven year tine span and kept insisting that he would agree to parole if Morton would just 'show remorse' for his 'crime'. The audacity that he would keep an innocent person in jail until he confessed is a travesty of justice.

Hopefully the DA/Judge Ken Anderson who sent Morton to prison will be disbarred and incarcerated himself. That would be a start toward real "justice" in "Wilco".

Seriously look into the Morton case. It's fascinating.

That is a sad situation and unfortunately not all that rare though the degree to which the PA went to prevent finding the real murderer and fighting the parole certainly is.

We had a somewhat similar situation in my county: Man Freed After Spending Half His Life Behind Bars For Murder He Didn't Commit * - ABC News

Angela's murderer still hasn't been found.

I have worked in Jackson County/Kansas City and surrounding Counties as well as rural areas and after 32 years, I was beyond ready to get out. The criminal justice system is too often, even with the best of intentions, simply a roll of the dice.

TripleR is correct, well said. Things are not perfect anywhere, never have been, may never be, but we gotta hold to realistic ideals for innocent until proven guilty...and try to keep the laws/punishment sane, logical and unbiased, this will take similar office holders and an informed electorate allowed to vote...tall order, don't get me started, else I hijack my own thread

You are right - even when everyone plays by the rules and has honesty at the forefront it's dicy. In many cases in Wilco over the years there has been no concern for honesty and fair play on the part of prosecutors.

But it's not limited to there either, as you pointed out.

The murderer of Tynesia Brown, whose body I found on my place, is being sentenced today.

Williamson County sheriff's deputies (2) and victim case worker brought her family by today to see the site where the body was left. Mother, sister and sister's husband. Nice people. Still grieving for their loss. They left flowers at the site. They are welcome back if they wish to come. I think I may see them next year around this time, near the anniversary of her death.

I hope their visit brings another step to closure for them.

It does seem to help John, two teenaged kids were thrown from a vehicle and died just off the road on our property. They asked to put up small shrines and we see people stop down there often.
