Re: Former Texas official arrested in probe of prosecutors'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... stant.htmlA former justice of the peace is reportedly set to be charged with three murders, including a former Texas district attorney and assistant DA, after he was arrested on Saturday.
Eric Williams, 46, has been arrested by authorities investigating the murders of District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, last month - and the fatal shooting of ADA Mark Hasse in late January.
Williams was booked into Kaufman County Jail early Saturday morning for making terroristic threats and 'insufficient bond.' He is being held on a $3million bond.

I'm surprised this story hasn't attracted more comment here.

He has not been charged with the murders, but is being held on charges of making terroristic threats. This JP was fired for stealing county office equipment (computers) and the the murdered individuals prosecuted him. I think they believe there may be a connection, but they haven't been able to link it yet.

Re: Former Texas official arrested in probe of prosecutors'
This case is a real head scratcher. It will be interesting to see what details come out regarding the evidence they have pointing to this woman being the killer. If it's true, all the earlier speculation was completely off base. And it seems such a petty reason for killing someone like that.

There was earlier info that members of the Aryan Brotherhood had actually been talking to law enforcment and the focus was off of them.extremist wrote:Man they sure have buried that story now that it doesn't have the "Aryan Nation" angle to it.

You know what they say about a woman scorned and their fury. Retaliation is a real common tactic by family members. I was in a jury selection for a retaliation case where a young man threatened and actually went after a deputy sheriff and his family for arresting his brother.

They now have a confession from the wife that they committed the murder of all three individuals and that the husband was the one that pulled the trigger. All over being fired for stealing computer monitors.
