Attorney

The Resume

    (February 2, 1942- )
    Judge in Austin, Texas (1969-1972)
    Democrat member of Texas legislature (1972-1977)
    District Attorney of Travis County, Texas (1976- )
    Indicted Tom DeLay in a campaign finance scandal (2005)

Why he might be annoying:

    Opponents describe him as a self-promoting partisan, a renegade crackpot, and mentally unstable.
    He's been unfavorably compared to D.A. Jim Garrison as a wacky conspiracy theorist.
    Some have criticized his case against Tom DeLay as being confusing and having weak evidence.
    He allowed a documentary film crew access to his case against DeLay.
    He was unprepared for his case against Kay Bailey Hutchison for alleged corruption, allowing the case to be dropped before it went to trial.
    He prosecuted an 11-year-old girl for capital murder, making her the youngest person in Texas to be charged with such a crime.
    According to friends, he is sensitive and gets emotional at sunsets and sunrises.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Supporters describe him as a principled and moral prosecutor who is not afraid to challenge powerful figures and who takes the integrity of the political system seriously.
    Despite accusations of being a vicious partisan, he has prosecuted more Democrats than Republicans.
    He is so popular that most of the time Republicans don't bother running candidates against him.
    He set-up several law programs such as a victim-assistance program, child abuse initiatives, and a unit that prosecutes Texas state level crime.
    He freely admitted to violating an election law and asked a judge to fine him.
    He's received many honors and recognition for his work, including from the National District Attorneys Association and from Bill O'Reilly.
    He was raised in a close-knit family of ranchers and farmers.
    He is a voracious reader.
