Before we go into the legal definition of what deferred adjudication actually is, let\’s first be very clear about what deferred adjudication \”is not\”.
Deferred adjudication is NOT a final finding of guilt and it is NOT a final conviction.
Deferred Adjudication is a plea bargain agreement between a defendant, and a Texas Criminal Court in which formal judgment is withheld or \”deferred\” pending the outcome of the probation period. If an individual is given deferred adjudication and he or she successfully completes the probation and conditions assigned by the court, the charges are dismissed. In order to obtain DA from the court, the defendant MUST either enter a plea of \”guilty\” or a plea of \”no contest\”. Essentially, both pleas mean the same thing; with the exception being that a plea of \”no contest\” has certain advantages as far as protecting the defendant against any subsequent civil litigation proceedings related to the original crime he/she was originally charged with.
1) The ONLY venue named in this list of 10 is Austin. Many of the others may well be Austin, since TDI can bring suit in Austin / Travis County under state law.
Austin and Travis County are called the People\’s Republic of Austin because it is seen as liberal. In fact, it was one of the \”Blue\” areas in the \”Red\” state. Democrats still run politics in Austin.
2) The District Attorney in Austin is Ronnie Earl, the Democrat DA proscuting Tom Delay for campaign finance law violations.
3) John Cornyn was in Washington DC when the recent WC law was passed. He had very little to do with it. I have jheard more rumors that Toyota in San Antonio ruled the roost on the WC law. And I know of 2 large contractors Toyota has put into bankruptcy because they don\’t pay bills.
4) Money, as always, rules all justice in the courts. Have it, hire a good attorney. Don\’t have it, get hammered. It happens all over.
So, I would like to know where you got the fact that all of these courts and judges are Republican.
I\’m not sure I understand the penalty for D. Bauer. It sounds like he ended up on the positive side. Stole more than $344k and paid back less than $70k??
What a pattern of corruption of our judicial syatem this report reveals. Slammer time for small time crooks, deferred adjudication for white collar, big time crooks.
Steal a few thousand and the man comes after you. Steal a few hundred thousand and its deferred adjudication for you along with (probably infinitely deferred) restitution. Repulicans run Texas.
Judges in Texas are either elcted by the voters or nominated by politicians who were elected. Until recently, Texas has been a historically Democratic state.
I\’d like to see the empirical evidence used to base your assertion that Republicans are to \”blame\” for the sentences handed down.
I have anticipated your objection. Hence \”Wake up and smell the Republicans.\” Evidence is gathered through reading, fair and balanced media , eyes, ears, etc.
Make the effort to learn the party affiliations of the judges on the Texas Supreme Court and in most concentrations of populations. The evidence is there. O\’Reilly and Rove won\’t be giving it to you. Prime example: Senator John Cornyn, lap dog, mouthpiece Texas Senator for Tom Delay. Former chief justice Texas Supreme Court. Elected by moneyed interests as a point man on Workers Compensation reform. (And he delivered. now, let\’s talk about legislating from the bench by activist judges…). And his friends delivered–he is now junior senator. Present your own evidence to the contrary instead of parroting Fox News. Disillusion yourself from thinking you are living in a democracy. \”Follow the money…\”

A few facts for you to chew on.

Most of the people in the top 10 should have received jail time.
I\’m not sure I understand the penalty for D. Bauer. It sounds like he ended up on the positive side. Stole more than $344k and paid back less than $70k??

\”Wake up and smell the Republicans.\”
Hey dothetime,
Judges in Texas are either elcted by the voters or nominated by politicians who were elected. Until recently, Texas has been a historically Democratic state.
I\’d like to see the empirical evidence used to base your assertion that Republicans are to \”blame\” for the sentences handed down.
Evidence?!!! Everyone knows Democrats don\’t have evidence for their arguments. Regardless of the issue, they refuse to let the facts get in the way.
I have anticipated your objection. Hence \”Wake up and smell the Republicans.\” Evidence is gathered through reading, fair and balanced media , eyes, ears, etc.
Make the effort to learn the party affiliations of the judges on the Texas Supreme Court and in most concentrations of populations. The evidence is there. O\’Reilly and Rove won\’t be giving it to you. Prime example: Senator John Cornyn, lap dog, mouthpiece Texas Senator for Tom Delay. Former chief justice Texas Supreme Court.

And his friends delivered–he is now junior senator. Present your own evidence to the contrary instead of parroting Fox News. Disillusion yourself from thinking you are living in a democracy. \”Follow the money…\”
Avoid simple polarized thought. Democrat?–no, Libertarian.
