Source: The Beaumont Enterprise, TexasSept.迷你倉 21--Supporters of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay believe that this week's 2-1 ruling by an appeals court that reversed his conviction proves his case was politically motivated. Opponents cite it as another unfortunate example of getting violators convicted under this state's weak laws on campaign finance.While both sides debate these points, ordinary Texans may be left with another impression: This case took a long time.DeLay was indicted way back in 2005 for allegedly channeling $190,000 in illegal corporate donations to Republica文件倉s running for the Texas Legislature. That was the first year of President George W. Bush's second term, and the first year in the Senate for his successor, Barack Obama.DeLay's case didn't go to trial until 2011, and that conviction took two years to reach the Third Court of Appeals -- which wasn't the last step in the process.Whether or not justice was denied in DeLay's case, it sure was delayed.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) Visit the Beaumont Enterprise (Beaumont, Texas) at .beaumontenterprise.com Distributed by MCT Information Services存倉
