 It will probably take months for Judge Berchelmann to review and draft a statement of facts regarding Judge Sharon Keller.  As Rick Casey mentions, Judge Berchelmann is well-suited to this task.  I have always known him to be a no-nonsense sort of a judge.  After he issues his opinion, Judge Keller will surely appeal…

 It is a critical thing to understand in every lawsuit.  Many people just flat do not remember what happened.  Ed Marty, the general counsel for the Court of Criminal Appeals, in the end, simply admitted that he did not remember what he told Judge Johnson.  This from a trained lawyer with many years experience.  …

 A soldier from San Antonio was killed in Afghanistan, yesterday.  SSG Bowen died from wounds suffered in an IED (improvised explosive device, aka "roadside bomb") explosion.  I think we should all devote a moment of silence to those killed serving you and I.

 One of the trials regarding the fight club at Corpus Christi State School started on Monday.  It has attracted national attention.  I have talked about this before. It is shameful conduct at the expense of some of our most vulnerable citizens.  But, let’s face it, we have the state school system we are willing…
