Know What You Are Talking About Before You Open Your Mouth

David K, again with his un-dying support of Ann Morgan Lilly has decided to pretend he knows what he’s talking about…again.

So he apparently has challenged the veracity of the documents I previously posted that state that Representative Lilly had to pay up in a judgement.

Well, here is the SIGNED document. I was right, he was wrong. I know that he probably won’t ever admit it, but you people are smart enough to read and can see what you have in front of you.

DA Esparza Can Kiss Congress Good-Bye

District Attorney Jaime Esparza has long been rumored to be next in line for the congressional seat in El Paso. Well, that was then, and this is now.

After the year he’s had, he can forget about it.

Theresa Caballero has been wearing the vato down with a constant barrage about a rumored love child, without ever having proof by the way, and he’s suffered several defeats in court that will have long-lingering affects.

First he loses the Marmolejo case, which was a huge loss. That was a very high profile case that he had personal capital invested in. Its a case that had people in this town on the edge of their seat.

Then he was able to get a win on the second go around, but he had to have the case in San Antonio to do it.

Then along comes the Arditti case and his nemesis Theresa Caballero. Esparza should’ve sent in his varsity team to try the case. Arditti was found not guilty on all the charges and Esparza ended up with another high-profile loss.

The really bad thing for Esparza is that he lost to Caballero in a really high-profile case. You can bet money she will run against him in the next election, which by the way, isn’t so far off. The filing deadline will be over before the end of the year.

Esparza hasn’t shown any indication that he will run again. I seriously doubt that the will not run for re-election if Caballero throws her hat in the ring. I think the last thing Esparza wants is Caballero in charge of the District Attorney’s office. So unless another worthy candidate steps up, he will be forced to run again.

That means more of an onslaught of Caballero’s allegations. That has to be hard on the family life and everyone has their breaking point.

At this point Esparza’s job may be in jeopardy. There’s no way he wins a congressional race if he loses to Caballero.

Speaking of the Courthouse….

Several lawyers have told me something that I’m not to happy about.

Turns out there is a judge that apparently thinks so little of the bench, that the judge doesn’t even come in to the office for proceedings on certain days.

The attorneys tell me the judge will hold hearings / proceedings OVER THE TELEPHONE! I don’t know if there is anything legally wrong with that, but to speak frankly its bullshit. That kind of conduct should never be the practice of a judge in the state of Texas.

That judge owes the tax payers a full day’s work for a full day’s pay. That is a basic concept.

All I know is that if I hear it happens again, I’m going to make sure people know about it.
