Disgusting. The boy was in 3rd grade too when it started.

Fox News

quote:

Initially charged with Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child, Attorney General Ken Paxton offered a plea deal to Hoffman lowering a felony and life in prison to two class A misdemeanors and 30 days in county jail. Hoffman pleaded guilty to indecent assault and displaying harmful material to a minor but was not granted his initial plea deal. Visiting Judge Roy Sparkman denied the 30 days and doubled the sentence to 60 days.

Hoffman does not need to register as a sex offender, and his law license is suspended for five years. A crowd gathered outside the McLennan County Courthouse to show their disapproval of what they call a “light” punishment.

It comes across as a little shady how you name your link. Not exactly the Fox News I was expecting.

Who cares? Paxton worships Trump, and that is all most on here (and a great many Texans) require.

What does Trump have to do with Paxton making this decision though? Trumps fault like normal?

There was a mistrial on the case last year.

Looks like this was the resolution?

Mistrial declared in child sex abuse trial of Waco attorney Adam Hoffman

quote:

At about 7 p.m., the jury sent the judge a note stating it was deadlocked and could not reach a verdict. The judge asked the jury how it was split and learned six jurors were initially in favor of a guilty verdict and another six were in favor of acquitting Hoffman.

Could the guy cross the state line into Arkansas and molest a kid in your family? Then maybe you should care also.

I understand the purpose of a plea deal, but at what point does the plea become more insulting to justice than just letting a mistrial happen?

What part if a 6-6 deadlocked jury mistrial do you not understand?

You are a dishonest piece of shite.

How is the state AG involved in a county criminal prosecution? I am missing the connection to Paxton.

The county DA prosecutes criminal cases, not the state AG.

So the jury would not convict based on trial evidence. Next, you assume he’s guilty when a conviction couldn’t be won in court.

After not getting a conviction, not much left for the prosecution to do.

Do you the problem with your thinking?
