The shadyness goes on
Ronnie Earle is a poor excuse for a human being. DeLay Offered Deal Before Indictment.
This... person, who indicts companies, then drops the charges when they "donate" to his causes, offered a misdemeanor charge to DeLay, before he was ever indicted. It usually goes the other way around. You indict someone for a particular charge, then plea bargain it down to avoid the trial. To offer someone a misdemeanor plea before the indictment is just... unheard of.
This is on top of first indicting DeLay on an ex post facto charge, getting a no-bill on the 2nd grand jury, then before the results of the 2nd grand jury can be posted, he convenes a 3rd grand jury who finally gets him what he wants.
Ronnie Earle is a partisan hack who will stop at nothing to convict DeLay. What animosity drives him I don't know, but he is making a fool of himself and everyone around him.
