Now I'm only guessing but I'd say it's a safe bet that the prosecutor in this case is a liberal. We all know that you can get an indictment simply by controlling what the grand jury hears as the defense is generally not invited to the party. What I'm actually shocked by is it took someone this long.

Quote:Governor Rick Perry appointed Devon Anderson Harris County District Attorney on September 26, 2013. She succeeds her late husband, Mike Anderson. On November 4, 2014, Anderson was reelected to her first term which officially began in January 2015. 



Anderson has a long history of fighting for justice. She was a prosecutor for 12 years at the Harris County District Attorney’s office trying some of the worst criminals including, the “Railroad Killer,” Angel Maturino Resendiz. Anderson rose through the ranks of the office prosecuting offenses at every level. She was a Chief Felony prosecutor for 5 years and tried over 100 felony jury trials including 7 capital murders.

Anderson has been the recipient of several prestigious awards for her work in 2014 including:

• 2014 Premier Women in Law, Association of Women Attorneys
• 2014 Policy Setter Award, MADD
• 2014 Early Leader Award, Waco ISD Advanced Academic Services
• 2014 Houston’s 50 Most Influential Women
  

During her tenure as District Attorney, Anderson has added more prosecutors to the Human Trafficking Section, Animal Cruelty Section, Organized Crime Section, and Mental Health Division. She helped create a new misdemeanor prostitution court and misdemeanor Veterans court. In cooperation with the Criminal District Court judges, Anderson also helped implement a Court to focus on felony backlog cases starting with Capital Murders. In its first year, the program reduced the average pending age of Capital Murder cases from 3.5 years to 1.5 years.
