RAYMONDVILLE - A hearing got under way moments ago at the Willacy County courthouse where attorneys representing U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and other state, federal and local officials were going to attempt to quash a number of indictments that accuse the officials of various charges related to a private jail construction project in Willacy County.
But just as the proceedings got started, they took a surprising twist.
Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra, who only has six weeks left in office, filed a motion to have State District Judge J. Manuel Bañales recused from the case.When Banales arrived at the courthouse this morning he was surrounded by Texas Rangers.
