Paxton, who has been under indictment on two first-degree fraud charges and a third-degree charge since 2015, was scheduled for a final pretrial hearing on Tuesday ahead of an April 15 trial in Houston. He is accused of soliciting investors in a McKinney technology company more than a decade ago without disclosing that the firm was paying him to promote its stock. He is also charged with steering clients to a friends investment advising business without registering with the state securities board. The case has been delayed by a number of disputes between Paxtons attorneys and the special prosecutors handling the case, including over how much the prosecutors should be paid. The sides have also sparred over where the trial should take place. Republicans are tough on crime when a rape victim gets an abortion or a black man smokes a joint and soft on crime when a rich white man commits financial crimes. The Party of Personal Accountability my ass. <cite>darkace77450 posted [p:979523680] in After nine...

Paxton is one of the most corrupt motherfuckers in the TX government, blatantly so, and it just doesn't matter. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:979524314] in After nine...

Oh yeah, hell definitely be doing that. /s Why the hell did anyone even bothering bringing charges in the first place if this is the best they can do? This is just an embarrassment, and at this point theres not even a pretense that we have a functioning justice system anymore. <cite>Horith posted [p:979524580] in After nine...
