"Guerra, a 53-year-old Rio Grande Valley prosecutor who drew national attention for suing counterparts in the county justice system and staging a protest with barnyard animals, long has alleged high-ranking corruption in the deals that brought the impoverished county a $60 million immigration detention center.
On Monday, he got a grand jury to sign off on a slew of indictments including an acceptance of honorarium charge against state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., and an engaging in organized criminal activity charge against Cheney and Gonzales.
Cheney is accused of contributing to the neglect of federal immigration detainees by contracting for-profit prisons.
“By working through corporations as prisons for profit, Defendant Richard Cheney has committed at least misdemeanor assaults of our inmates and/or detainees,” the indictment reads, adding that a “money trail” can be traced to Cheney's substantial investments in the Vanguard Group, which invests in privately run prisons.
This morning, attorneys filed motions to quash indictments 'for prosecutorial vindictiveness and failure to allege an offense.'"
Will this slow down or balk any future attempts to do what needs to be done, i.e., nail the hyena cabal to the legal wall? Conspiracy theorists can speculate about whether this was a set-up, but the truth remains that whoever first tackles these criminals--and make no mistake, they are criminals--will be facing the kind of pressure that goes with seeing your career, or life, go down the drain.
