HPD DWI Bat Van Update: Judge Threatens Top Houston DA Assistants With Jail Time
Houston, Texas
KTRK-TV (ABC13) is reporting on new information in the ongoing investigation of criminal activity within the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Court documents filed this morning reveal District Court Judge Susan Brown is threatening to jail two of DA Pat Lykos' top deputies, along with two other county staffers. The top deputies are Carl Hobbs, in charges of the DA's grand jury division, and Steve Morris. The two others are court reporters -- the people who take down testimony and prepare transcripts. The four are all being called to court next Monday morning to explain why they have transcripts of what should be secret grand jury testimony.
The testimony is apparently part of a Grand Jury investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing surrounding concerns over HPD BAT Van DWI tests.
Now it turns out (according to court documents) that the DA's office has transcripts of some testimony.
The DA's office is not commenting at this point.
