Dear Readers;
My sincerest apologies for not posting recently. I've been mondo busy as well as very saddened by the murder of the Kaufman County, Texas DA Mike McLelland and his wife Cynthia over the weekend.
Hopefully they will capture those responsible for this and soon.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the McLelland family and to our fellow prosecutors in Kaufman County and as well to the new interim Kaufman County DA, Brandi Fernandez.
Texas prosecutor steps into job after predecessor gunned down

(Reuters) -
Brandi Fernandez slipped into the Kaufman County Courthouse in her first
full day as interim district attorney on Tuesday, taking over a job
that authorities believe got her predecessor and one of her colleagues
killed.
Praised as a smart, tough
litigator and a fierce advocate for child victims of crime, Fernandez
declined to address reporters and remained under close protection inside
the courthouse throughout the day. A police cruiser was parked outside
her single-family home surrounded by trees on Monday and Tuesday.
Atop
her agenda was investigating the targeted killings of former District
Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife on Saturday and Assistant District
Attorney Mark Hasse on January 31.
