The story claims that Earl not only went to a third grand jury when the second grand jury refused to indict Tom Delay after the first indictment had to be dropped because there was no legal basis, but he intimidated the third grand jury into making their decision. As in all journalistic reporting of court cases, it is impossible to determine who really did what. This is why we have our day in court rather than our day in the media.

But the evidence released so far continues to indicate that Mr. Earl is either trying to make a flimsy charge stick or he is totally inept as a prosecuter.
