Dick's lawyer files motion to quash indictment

By Lynn Brezosky and Peggy Fikac / San Antonio Express-News

RAYMONDVILLE - Some of the top names in South Texas legal defense converged at the Willacy County courthouse with briefcases and a sense of conviviality about indictments reaching as far as the White House.

Lawyers like J.A. "Tony" Canales, a former U.S. attorney who is representing Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, said they hoped to get a range of charges brought by embattled District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra quickly dismissed.

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.

Why "quash it" if its not the real deal? hmmm? Just like everything else they've done, if its ever examined by a court of law, they are so over...

Dick should have asked for a Probable Cause hearing before the Grand Jury started. This mistake by Dick might cause him to go to jail. One mistake on his taxes as he just kept collecting money.
