#1 Now we are all troubled. Trouble is what is brewing on the stove. One thing we can rule out - compromise.

#2 I've got a compromise...how about we pardon the Sergeant and have the DA serve his sentence. I'd be fully satisfied with this arrangement.

#3 All the cases the DA failed to prosecute are just pardons before the fact.

#4 ...Although SGT Perry will likely be pardoned by the State of Texas, the Army will almost certainly see to it that he pays a price for defending himself. There's no way in hell I see the current DoD leadership allowing him to just quietly go home.

#5 I've got a compromise... send the DA into the worst parts of Austin with gold chains wrapped around him and have him try to walk out of there.

Problem solved.

#7 It seems the DA may have excluded exculpatory evidence from the grand jury and had the prosecuting attorney lie.

#8 the Army will almost certainly see to it that he pays a price for defending himself.

Would the Texas Army National Guard be an acceptable substitute?

#9 TW, I believe the Army, or Guard, would see it a double jeopardy and not act. If the DA refused to go after him, then the Army would. But the DA convicted him, triggering double jeopardy...

I could be wrong.
