Lee was shot in the back multiple times and unarmed while he was trying to flee. <BR/><BR/>It's ironic how you people post the information that works for your storyline - but leave out the rest of the facts. <BR/><BR/>It is true that the HPD had issues with their crime labs and ballistic reports and the gun found in Bernal's residence was being questioned. What you fail to mention is that the survivors of Bernal's brutal attack (3 total) ALL positively identifed Bernal as the killer. Further, the 2 younger teenagers in the backseat of the car Bernal was in on the night of the murder are the ones who turned in Bernal and the driver of the vehicle. <BR/><BR/>Further, Bernal was almost 18 at the time of the murder. If you fools think that a matter of days or weeks would have made a differnce in Bernal's choice to pull that trigger, you're as ignorant as the piece of crap that Bernal is. If you choose to act like an adult by picking up a gun and killing someone, you should be treated like an adult when you are caught.<BR/><BR/>So now, Bernal has been removed from death row for a horrendous crime of which he is NOT AT ALL remorseful for, but Lee Dilley is still gone. Bernal will eventually get out on parole and go right back to his old ways. I just hope it isn't YOUR family he shoots in the back next time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604463807371446221.post-54828853670740694452007-10-15T15:22:00.000-07:002007-10-15T15:22:00.000-07:00Members of the public who wish to join in a compla...Members of the public who wish to join in a complaint against Judge Sharon Keller can <A HREF="http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/tmn/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=748&t=sharonkiller.dwt" REL="nofollow">sign on to a judicial complaint against Keller here</A>. More than 400 people have already signed on.<BR/><BR/>Last week, a group of 20 prominent lawyers from across Texas filed the first complaint against Keller. Then, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association voted to file a second complaint against Keller. <BR/><BR/>Now, we are asking members of the general public to <A HREF="http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/tmn/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=748&t=sharonkiller.dwt" REL="nofollow">sign on to this complaint</A> against Keller. It is time for us all to take action to bring back integrity to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Keller can help the process of bringing back integrity by resigning from the Court.<BR/><BR/>The Honorable Judge Susan Criss of the 212th Judicial District Court has written on the <A HREF="http://www.burntorangereport.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=4220" REL="nofollow">Burnt Orange Report</A> that she is joining in filing a complaint against Judge Sharon Keller.<BR/><BR/>When sitting judges begin joining judicial complaints against another judge, you know that there has been a serious breach in judicial ethics. Sharon Keller did not act in an honorable manner by closing the court at 5pm on the day of an execution, but she can do the honorable thing now and resign. I am glad to see a sitting judge, such as the Honorable Judge Susan Criss of the 212 Judicial District Court, join in the criticism of Sharon Keller's shocking action. It feels so good to use the phrase "The Honorable" again when referring to a judge. Sharon Keller is no longer fit to be called "The Honorable"<BR/><BR/>Quoting from Judge Criss:<BR/><BR/>"Many of us in the legal community were also stunned to see twenty lawyers publicly announce they were filing a complaint with the Texas Judicial Conduct Commission against Judge Kellar for her actions that day.<BR/><BR/>While we were stunned we were also proud to see lawyers standing up for the Constitution and for access to justice. Lawyers and elected officials take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. Too often that oath is interpreted to mean that we should just not violate the Constitution ourselves. That oath means so much more than that. Twenty lawyers reminded Texas and the rest of the nation and the world just what is required by those of us who swear to protect and defend the Constitution.<BR/><BR/>That is why other groups and individuals are joining in that complaint this week. I am joining in it. The Code of Judicial Conduct requires judges to report activity by other judges that violates the Code. Behavior that diminishes public confidence in the justice system violates the Code.<BR/><BR/>During the Watergate hearings Barbara Jordan said. "My faith in the Constitution is complete.
