will this start a trend?

A Texas court has ruled that former Williamson County District Attorney Ken Anderson will face criminal contempt and tampering charges for failing to turn over evidence pointing to the innocence of Michael Morton (pictured right), who was later exonerated by DNA evidence after serving 25 years for his wife’s murder. The court made specific findings that Anderson knew of evidence supporting Morton’s innocence but intentionally failed to turn that evidence over to the defense.

1. $2500 bail for each felony? Really? Asshole's bail should be $250,000, at least, after what he took

from Morton, half his freaking life!

Glad to see justice being served, finally, but geez... It will be interesting to see if he is convicted and his sentence. He should have to spend the same time his actions forced Morton to serve.

2. Wrong charges

Criminal contempt and evidence tampering are the symptoms of the of the base cause, suppression of someone's civil rights. If the position of Williamson County District Attorney is an elected position; considering the vows of a public office usually include a provision to uphold the Constitution, a charge of treason can be argued.
If one argues an eye for an eye....this sitting Texas judge should spend the next 25 years in the same prison he illegally subjected an innocent man to.
