Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Judge's 100 drug cases to be reviewed | AP Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "The El Paso County district attorney is promising reviews of about 100 drug cases presided over by a newly elected state judge now under federal indictment.

A federal grand jury in El Paso indicted State District Judge Manuel Barraza on Wednesday on four counts, including mail fraud, wire fraud and lying to a federal agent.

The 10-page indictment alleges the 53-year-old judge took cash bribes and asked for sex from defendants, including an undercover FBI agent, in exchange for his help in felony cases."
