When four felony prosecutors quit or are fired from the Harris County DA’s Office in a week, I try to tease out the pattern, or the message that is being sent.
- #3 in the 182nd.
- Chief in Court 4.
- Assistant in Forfeiture Division.
- Chief in the 176th.
What do these four lawyers (there may be more that I haven’t heard of) have in common? What message does their discharge send to the rest of the office? No idea. I haven’t heard any gossip that doesn’t strike me as bullshit. So this post is just a placeholder for now; I’ll return to it when I have a theory.
Four days ago this looked like a fishing expedition to encourage some of your DA informants to elucidate why the four left in one week. That’s why they call it “fishing” and not “catching”.
I’m not sure they know, but why they think would be valuable intel.
