GRAND JURY UPSET WITH CHUCK ROSENTHAL AND THEY WANT HIM TO RESIGN!

THEY WERE VERY UPSET THEIR WORK WAS THROWN OUT AND VOIDED!

The legal scuffle between a grand jury and a Texas Supreme Court justice took another bizarre turn Tuesday when a judge ruled that improperly filed paperwork invalidated any indictments issued by the panel.

District Judge Jim Wallace ruled that an order extending the panel's term was not properly drafted, agreeing with a motion filed by the attorney representing Justice David Medina.

The grand jury's term was to have ended Nov. 2, but the term was extended to February at the district attorney's request.

The judge's decision nullified indictments issued by the grand jury against Medina and his wife, as well as 30 others on unrelated mortgage fraud.

At an afternoon press conference, eight members of the grand jury, which normally works in secrecy, called the district attorney's handling of the case arrogant and incompetent and said it left some members discouraged about the process.

The 12-member jury indicted Medina on Thursday on charges of tampering with evidence, and his wife, Francisca, on an arson charge in connection with a June 28 fire at their home in the Houston suburb of Spring.

But the next day, the Harris County District Attorney's office, which first brought the case to the grand jury, dropped the charges, angering members of the panel who said the move was politically motivated.

The judge's ruling on Tuesday left the Medinas relieved and happy.

"It's been a roller coaster for them. Obviously, they're very pleased," defense attorney Terry Yates said of the Medinas. "We hope this is a final chapter in this case and that it effectively ends the prosecution of David Medina."

But assistant district attorney Vic Wisner said Friday that authorities were still investigating the fire and the Medina's role in it.

During a Tuesday afternoon press conference members of the Grand Jury said they believe Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal should resign!
