He may not be a lawyer. You don't have to be a lawyer to be a Justice of the Peace in Texas. It's an elected position and has original jurisdiction for criminal cases that can result in a fine only and exclusive jurisdiction for all civil matters involving $200 or less.JALLEN wrote:and convicted, and disbarred, his life ruined!Keith B wrote:They now have a confession from the wife that they committed the murder of all three individuals and that the husband was the one that pulled the trigger.

Some people have a hard time connecting their troubles with their own acts or omissions.
There was a reference in one of the stories that he had lost his law license, disbarred as a result of conviction of a crime of moral turpitude. I guess it is the same in Texas as here. Here in California, though, you wait some suitable period, 5 years or so, and re-apply and if you've kept your nose clean, you might get re-admitted. A man, whose kid was on the Little League team I was commissioner of years go, was elected President of the County Bar Association and sworn into office, only to be removed about 2 months later when he was arrested for fencing stolen property. He was convicted, disbarred in due course, and he's back. Unbelievable! I believe a friend of mine convicted 20 years ago of securities fraud is now re-admitted as well.baldeagle wrote:He may not be a lawyer.
