DeLay's Attorneys Refile Subpoenas Against DA Ronnie Earle and Two Of His Prosecutors

Wednesday, 5:11 pm CDT October 12, 2005

AUSTIN -- Rep. Tom DeLay's legal team on Wednesday refiled subpoenas trying to compel prosecutors to testify about their contact with three grand juries during an investigation of the Texas Republican.

The subpoenas were refiled to make technical corrections to the documents that contend Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle acted improperly with two grand juries. Two of the grand juries filed charges and one refused.

DeLay had to temporarily step aside as U.S. House majority leader when he was charged with conspiracy and money laundering in a state campaign finance investigation led by Earle. DeLay has denied any wrongdoing.

While a clerk for the grand jury had received the corrected document, a spokesman in Earle's office said he had not yet been served with the latest subpoena late Wednesday.

The subpoena was first delivered on Tuesday, but defense attorney Dick DeGuerin said Earle refused the subpoena when he declined to sign a paper acknowledging its delivery. Earle countered that he voluntarily accepted it and a spokesman in his office said a signature is not legally required to accept a subpoena.

Earle said redelivery to his office was unnecessary.
