As a part of the deal that will put Anderson behind bars for 10 days, charges of tampering with evidence have been dropped and Anderson has settled his civil suit with the State Bar of Texas, agreeing to be disbarred and pay a $500 fine.
Anderson faced up to 10 years in prison if he had been convicted of tampering with evidence. Anderson accepted the plea deal in the same Williamson County courthouse where he later spent 11 years as a state judge. He resigned in September.....
I hope they put this guy in the general prison population.
He should have to serve out the remaining years of his “victim”!
I was hopping the prosecutor was named Earl.
See, if you’re a member of the “club” you shall have no worries.
The ruling class ALWAYS protect themselves no matter what.
He’ll do his 10 days, 500 hours and then live the good life off the millions he likely made.
10 days is all he gets.
He took 25 years of another man’s life, and the man who actually did the crime went on to kill again and probably again and again ...
And 10 days is all he gets.
“Former Texas prosecutor and district court judge Ken Anderson agreed Friday to serve 10 days in jail, complete 500 hours of community service and give up his law license for hiding evidence in a 1987 murder trial that sent an innocent man to jail for nearly 25 years...”
Good. The only thing worse than a dirty cop is a lazy, dirty prosecutor lookin’ to pad his record at any cost.
Shouldn't have been withheld, BUT it is inadmissible hearsay.
Did the killer have only one arm?
10 DAYS???????????????????????? FOR SENDING AN INNOCENT MAN TO JAIL FOR 25 YEARS?????????????
AT MINIMUM HE SHOU>D SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS HIS VICTIM
Knowingly sending an innocent man to prison should be a CAPITAL OFFENSE!
“See, if youre a member of the club you shall have no worries. The ruling class ALWAYS protect themselves no matter what.”
I would hope that this conviction will enable the falsely imprisoned man to sue and take everything he has.
Need to end immunity for prosecutors and judges....this move is a start. We need to send away prosecutors and judges that break the law in the course of their duties. It would clean up a lot of nonsense...and save taxpayers a lot of money
I've got to wonder what kind of promotions and pay raises this wrongful conviction got Anderson in the interim.
Doubt it. The judge prolly will keep his nice retirement. The County or State will be the payer of lots but insufficient amount to the guy.
If I were the judge, I’d never quit looking over my shoulder wondering when Morton will extract his rightful revenge. That ever-present wondering will a bit of his own prison.
Ken Anderson and the people who cut the deal of a 10-day sentence are clear reasons why flogging should be legalized again for scum like Anderson and those people.
I agree, frankly they should hang him.
Maybe the relatives of the second victim can be waiting for him outside the prison with a rope.
“He should have to serve out the remaining years of his victim!”
Remember, he’s a member of the club, so we can’t have that!
the path to judge is through the prosecutor’s office
during the short time I was a prosecutor, I just always gave the defense my file.
I wanted the defense to point out if there were problems
You want errors to be on the side of innocence
He should serve at least as long as his innocent victim served. 25 years would be just fine by me.
