WE WEREN'T A RUNAWAY GRAND JURY AND NOW WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!

THEY'VE TAKEN LEGAL ACTION!

Six members of the grand jury that indicted a Texas Supreme Court justice and his wife over a house fire have filed a lawsuit so they can speak about the case. By law, grand jury proceedings are secret. But the grand jury members say they want to disclose details they heard to a new grand jury. Attorney Jeffrey Dorrell says they also want defend themselves from accusations alleging they were a "runaway grand jury."Dorrell served as the grand jury's assistant foreman. They were part of a grand jury that last month indicted Texas Supreme Court Justice David Medina on a charge of tampering with a document and his wife Francisca Medina on an arson charge. The charges are related to a June 28 fire that destroyed the Medina's house in the Houston suburb of Spring. Hours after the indictment, Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal dismissed the charges, citing "insufficient evidence."

    Jeffrey Dorrell must be a real idiot attorney. On Fox news, he said the case should go to trial so that "Medina can prove his innocens." WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The defendnat does not have to prove his innocence in America!!! It is the Government's job to prove his guilt. He is presumed to be innocent.

    I'd like to know the pary affiliation of these whiners.
