I know Sean. He's a good guy and most of the posts on here virtue signaling conservative bona fides are frankly just sad. Not everything is a conspiracy, and not everyone who disagrees with conservative positions is the enemy. Sean would make a great DA.

Ogg has been objectively terrible. It is really hard for the public to understand how much she has harmed the DA's office and impacted public safety in the process. Murray is trying to explain it to you and just getting attacked for it.

My name is Aaron and I worked at the DA's office. Believe what you want, but Sean would make a fine DA. And I'm not sure anyone could do worse than Ogg has considering how far the office has fallen.

LOL

From Sean's own website..."Why I'm running"

#1; "Fight for reproductive rights" and "Lobby hard against Republican laws that criminalize abortion."

....What does any of that have to do with being the District Attorney of one of the most populated counties in the nation, prosecuting crime, and holding an elected office that has ZERO say in legislation?

#2 "Lead on Gun Violence" and "Partner closely with community groups like Moms Demand Action"

.....Moms Demand is basically the 2024 version of '05-'08 Code Pink.

#3 "Ensure Second Chances for Those Who Deserve It"

.....Yes, because we have seen time and time again that giving criminals second, third, and fourth chances works great.

#4 Fixing Our Broken Cash Bail System" because "decisions about pretrial release or detention should be based on risk, not on the amount of wealth a defendant has"

....What is the current body count of folks that were killed in Harris County by predominantly minority offenders who killed other minorities after they were released from jail on minimal bond? I'm guessing we are well into double digits.



But sure.....it's all conservative virtue signaling and Sean is going to be a real crime fighter when he gets into office. Give me a friggin' break.

Oh hey, make light of child sexual abuse. Thats classy.

I didn't say Trump hurt me. I'm just not on board with voting for him for the same reasons that most people have who don't like him. I've got no interest in debating why I think he and his followers aren't worth debating. Especially not the ones hiding behind pseudonyms.

Good lord, libs can't understand a meme.

Go back to rage tweeting on Twitter X, Murray. You're not convincing many here that your boy is the next white knight of Harris County…other than if you're a criminal.

At this point you have two options in all Federal, State and Local elections:

1- Vote Democrat and watch their wonderful policies burn the world down

2- Vote Republican and watch Antifa throw a giant Molotov hissy fit and actually burn the world down

Good luck!

so child abuse is bad, but you're okay with your boy Sean encouraging women to abort (MURDER) babies???? Typical Lib.

This is why so many are skeptical of Sean as an upgrade over Ogg. Hard to imagine Sean is not going to represent the Soros model of soft on crime, law and disorder type of district attorney that the Soros group supports nationally.

I've written a blog on the Harris County Criminal Justice System since 2008 when I was supporting Kelly Siegler. If you want to see why I think Kim Ogg is the worst District Attorney the county has ever seen, here's a post on it. Apologies in advance, it's really long.

There's nothing legally dubious about it and churches (for better or worse) have been part of the political process for longer than any of us have been alive.

Although I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you probably aren't voting in the Democratic primary, on the off chance that you are, I'd offer the following for your consideration:

Sean Teare is a former prosecutor who spent the past several years at HCDA as the chief of vehicular crimes. His job was getting up in the middle of the night to go out to crime scenes involving intoxication manslaughter. to appear in front of the TV cameras looking high AF. He tried cases. He worked with victims and their families. He's promised to rebuild the office back into the reputable agency that it once was.

Kim Ogg has run all of the experience and talent out of that office. They are losing cases right and left that they should be winning. He is going to rebuild it with a focus on violent crime. I'm sorry if you don't like him but if you want a safer Houston, he's the far better choice over Ogg.
FIFY.

Why does he always look high AF all the time? And dude was nothing more that a camera hoar like SJL. Vehicular crime in Houston has not improved at all in the past few years.

I don't live in Houston but my parents still do and I am attached to it because I was born and raised there. I even worked as a court clerk in county courts 2 and 10 a couple years removed from graduating from A&M.

I would like to know the following:

How is fighting abortion law a primary campaign but for the DA?
What about reducing violent crime?
Pick an issue to be a hardass on that's not cash bail or abortion related. Talk about that.
Why do the optics suggest pandering to POC groups? Is that not enabling more criminal behavior rather than finding ways to reduce it?

The direction Houston and Harris County have taken is very pro crime and anti rules, quite frankly. What positives have come about in the democrat dominant reign of the politics here?

I'll hang up and listen.

It's so much worse, at least on the law enforcement side of things. If you can move your parents out of Houston, do it and never look back.

Well, you've got a manpower shortage with HPD that led to them shelving thousands and thousands of cases and you've got a DA's Office that loses about 40% of the cases that they take to trial. It's not great.

Pretty sure that liberalism isn't the primary cause of it.

Bro. Judges are letting criminals walk out the front door with no bail. People who have been murdered by felons out on bail is in the TRIPLE DIGITS. The cops can lock em up but the dumpster fire that is the judiciary dgaf and guess which way all those judges lean.

OK, that's good to know. I'll keep the politics out of it if you will. Is that fair?

Is there not a concern about crimes being committed by those who are out on bail and/or repeat offenders? Seems like those perpetrators are the ones driving the increase in crime.

well maybe if they wouldn't release all the ****in felons back on the street they wouldn't have so many cases? Ever thought of that??

The pandemic created an absolute crisis in Harris County like it did in most large cities. Cases were being filed and people were being arrested but there were no trials being held and in many cases, they weren't even holding court. Cases came in and they weren't going out. Houston had it worse than most because we still hadn't fully recovered from the backlog caused by Harvey.

The jails were full and there wasnt enough space to keep everybody. People were being given lower bonds than usual and many did reoffend. It was an impossible situation to maintain for everybody.

When there was enough backlash, bonds on violent crimes went back up again but you also had the bonding companies working our ridiculously low payment plans to get people out even when they had astronomically high bonds. You would see teenagers with no jobs somehow miraculously out on six figure bonds.

The funny thing is that when I was prosecutor (15 years ago), the standard bond on a murder was $50,000 and nobody could afford to make it. Now they are setting them at $150,00 and the bonding companies are getting them out.

The judges absolutely xould have held court but like good govt workers they absolutely drug their feet using the covid bs as an excuse to not hold trial. I believe it was judge glass who was the absolute worst offender but he is gone now iirc.

Theybare getting bonded out because no one ever comes knocking for that money when the scumbags skip bail

I'm in favor of getting rid of a cash bond system and doing what the Feds do with their detention hearings. I think most people who practice criminal law (prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges) would all agree that is the better system. The bail bond lobby is too big to get that change made unfortunately.
