In my experience, this is much more a law enforcement issue than the DA's issue. It's unfortunate that the DA doesn't have better law enforcement to work with, and doubly unfortunate that there's no mechanism for accountability and oversight when law enforcement acts with reckless disregard to their responsibilities. The most egregious thing, to me, is when the SA City Attorney's Office blocks both the State and Defense from learning about law enforcement misconduct, so the State is unable to properly evaluate a case based on credibility issues with a given officer, resulting the DAs Office unknowingly sponsoring the testimony of dishonest officers as witnesses. The Defense, too, is prevented from being able to fully cross examine and impeach a given officer's credibility on the witness stand. Until there's a better officer contract in place that doesn't bend over backward to protect and conceal law enforcement misconduct, this sort of problem will persist.

I’m generally uncomfortable about posting case results and outcomes, but the sentencing reduction awarded by the Court in this case was quite significant and meant a lot to me. Not sure I’ve ever seen this kind of outcome in Federal Court on this kind of charge before. I sincerely hope none of you ever need my help, but please know that I’m here if you do.

If any students in Bexar County are suspended or expelled or even arrested for participating in the March 14 school walkout or any other similar demonstration, contact the Law Office of Steven Gilmore or The Law Office of Daniel J. Palmer for pro bono representation. Other attorneys are also standing by to volunteer if needed. Don't let schools bully you or your children into silence.

Terrible news for everyone. Bailiffs are Sheriff’s employees, so it sounds like pleas in these counties with clients having less than full citizen status will expose those clients to potentially immediate immigration consequences.

The 287(g) program allows state or local law enforcement entities to request to enter into a partnership with ICE for delegated immigration enforcement.
