PROSECUTOR ESCORTED OUT THE DOOR AFTER FIRING
“Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg accused a high-ranking, former prosecutor of lying in court more than a year ago during an appeal in a double-murder case, newly filed documents show.
Andrew Smith, the prosecutor who was fired Monday, denied that allegation, saying he told the truth in court and that Ogg defamed him by making a “false filing.” Story by Keri Blakinger
MORE CASES BEING DISMISSED BECAUSE JUDGES FIND NO PROBABLE CAUSE
“Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg took aim at local courts this week, calling an alarming uptick in findings of no probable cause in more than 3,000 court cases a waste of resources and a public safety concern.
Local judges and magistrates ruled no probable cause in 3,217 misdemeanor and felony cases this year — a more than 70 percent increase from 2015 — citing a lack of sufficient evidence to continue with a criminal charge, according to the DA’s office.” Story by Samantha Ketterer
