Activist Judges Tossing Criminal Cases With No Probable Cause Rulings

We know that the Harris County DA’s office is letting violent criminal, even those arrested for murder out on low bond.

Well, the mess is not limited to the Harris County’s DA office. KHOU’s Jeremy Rolgalski reports on how activist judges are tossing criminal cases with no probable rulings.

This is a trend that has seen a huge spike since Democrats judges were took over the judiciary last year.

Rogalski reports

On a Sunday morning last June, cameras captured registered sex offender Jamal Washington masturbating on a METRO bus...
Washington was arrested by METRO police officers and charged with indecent exposure....
But despite the bus surveillance video clearly showing what happened, the case went nowhere in court. Harris County Judge Andrew Wright ruled there was no probable cause for the arrest because the female passenger who made the complaint never actually saw Washington’s penis.
Police said she only noticed the fast up and down motion of Washington’s hand out of the corner of her eye.

Rogalski notes an alarming trend in Harris County, “[A]ccording to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, there were 1,881 no-PC cases in 2015. Through Dec. 6 last year, there were 3,969 — an increase of 111 percent. 

The biggest year-to-year jump was also in 2019 when a slate of Democratic judges took over the bench.” (our emphasis added)

Rogalski’s reports on another disturbing case:

“One HPD case of particular concern was a theft in progress call last November at a CVS drug store in southwest Houston. According to prosecutors, offices found Christopher Obryant walking down a nearby street and told him to stop. Obryant allegedly dropped what he had in his hands and said “f*** no, I’m not going back to jail” before officers managed to arrest him. They took him back to the CVS where store security video showed him shoplifting. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges of theft, second offense.
But at a hearing hours later, Magistrate Courtney St. Julian rejected the case.
“He had $12 worth of food and held at gunpoint. I’m feeling the Thanksgiving spirit, so I’m going to find no probable cause for Mr. Obryant’s arrest,” St. Julian said. “Happy holidays.”
