Innocent Black Children Are Still Not Safe
RECEIVED Tue., April 15, 2008
Dear Editor,
With Ronnie Earle retiring at the end of the year, innocent little black girls who happen to be "big for their age" may think they can finally rest easy. Sorry, kids. Earle's personally chosen heir, Rosemary Lehmberg, has a clear stance on letting abusive murderers get away with beating a baby nearly to death at home and then dumping her at a day-care center so another innocent girl there can have her life destroyed by vicious prosecutorial persecution – she is all in favor of it. Where does Ms. Lehmberg stand on intimidating and threatening a false confession out of an 11-year-old child without having a lawyer or guardian present? Again, decidedly in favor, since she and Gary Cobb appear to have helped Austin Police Department detectives knowingly circumvent the law in order to do so. I wonder, how many of the Travis County voters who rubber-stamped her into office have overly large daughters?
