The Brackett News's Ms. Allison Taylor states the facts !!

"Former judge granted deferred adjudication"

By Allison Taylor, Managing Editor. The Brackett News, Thursday, October 18, 2007. "Serving the communities of Brackettville, Fort Clark Springs, Spofford and Kinney County."

Don't ask me why but these kind of stories always seem to depress me like few others can do.

Yeah, we all know the jargon, that when such Bad Things Happen to such Otherwise fairly Law-abiding if Mediocre People, the persons pleading guilty to, say, "Theft by Public Servant," are themseles victims of some terrible thing called: Late Onset Pyschopatholgy, which simply means they never worked up the nerve to do anything really bad until they were at least 40 years old.

"Ford tells court he will not run for office again"

Whopee! "But does that also include Fort Clark??"

Heh, heh!

Anyway, here's Ms. Taylor's opener:

"John Ford, III, former Kinney County Justice of the Peace, was granted deferred adjudication by [real - deal District] Judge Thomas F. Lee on October 1, after previously pleading guilty to Theft by Public Servant."
