There's Definitely Something Wrong In Edna

Dear Editor,
   All of Bell's convictions run to the maximum ["Crackpot Crackdown," News, Oct. 21] unless you catch him off guard in negotiating the case. The town of Edna operates on the basis of a name game; if your last name isn't among the high citizens of Edna, you will not catch a break. I work for an attorney in Houston; I have had two attorneys go to Edna to defend cases. They both state his practices are unorthodox. I have also negotiated a case for a defendant in an assault case in which the other party never even filed a report or complaint. I was able to negotiate a 30-day two-for-one sentence, only because he hadn't reviewed the file yet. They now know my name there in Bell's office due to other cases. Edna's police team and Bobby Bell should all be investigated.
