| Judge Andrew S. Hanen |
This Court has heard over the last two weeks of trial and throughout pretrial hearings a troublesome and disturbing tale of unethical conduct involving judges, lawyers and laypersons.
This state of affairs was exacerbated by the fact that it has lasted over a number of years and affected numerous cases. This Court has heard witnesses and seen exhibits which show uncharged illegal acts and violations of: Rule 1.02, Rule 1.04, Rule 1.06, Rule 3.05, Rule 8.03, and Rule 8.04 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, just to name a few.
Some of this evidence was presented to the jury and some of it was not—sometimes by agreement; sometimes over the objection of the parties. In fact, defense counsel requested, and this Court felt duty-bound by law to give, an instruction to the jury to disregard these ethical violations in reaching its verdict.
The United States Attorneys and federal agents involved in the trial of this case are
hereby ordered to provide the appropriate authorities at the State Bar of Texas, Chief Judge Ricardo Hinojosa of the Southern District of Texas and the Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit or his designee a copy of this order and, if they so request, the evidence of the multiple ethical violations committed by multiple attorneys involved in this case. This includes the evidence not presented at trial and covers all attorneys involved, not just the defendant.
This Court has great admiration for the trial bar and the benefits that trial lawyers (prosecution and defense) provide to society. It is their vigilance, among others, that ensures that the system of justice works and that the rights of all Americans are protected. That being said, nothing can do more harm to society than an individual, (or a group of individuals) armed with a law license (or working for someone armed with a law license) that has no moral compass, no respect for the rules governing ethical conduct and no respect for the truth. Some of the acts or omissions may be considered minor; some may have been inadvertent. Nevertheless, there were some acts that were neither minor nor accidental mistakes, and the individuals that committed
these acts, in this Court’s opinion, should not be allowed to practice law anywhere.
Signed this 29th day of May, 2013.

ReplyDeleteHannen aint done!
ReplyDeleteRemember, what we have here works the same way as the Mafia. It is not impossible, but it will be difficult to get the truth.
ReplyDeleteThis problem goes beyond politics, corruption and greed.
Didn't these people take oaths? Aren't they Christians? WWJD?
It's Judge "Hanen", not Hanon, or Hannon you bunch of retarded goofy imbeciles! When all fails, look at his name under the picture!...Lol Crazy guys!!
ReplyDeleteRey Guevara
Hey Rey, maybe those imbeciles can spell their own name. It is GuevaRRA!!! The name Guevara does not exist. It is a misspelling of the above. Unless you are from Argentina, lived in Cuba and died in Bolivia.
DeleteTe voy a meter toda la riata, Anony. It is Guevara, ya hack! Nutty guys like you give us Mexes a bad name. Can you spell cagada in English? That's you. LOL!!!
DeleteRey
Let's make sure "laypersons" like Aurora de la Garza are also indicted. Without Aurora's complicity, much of the corruption in the courts could not take place. The corruption resides in Cameron County's non-judicial positions.
ReplyDeleteWhat? We have corrupt people? Really? Omg…I thought everyone was honest and did the right thing. Isn't that what they swear to do when they take office? Smh.
ReplyDeleteYou thing the feds will go after their own/ Angel Castro. I doubt it. The IG report was a joke and the Feds have lost credibility. As far as the rest I doubt the Bar will do anything except for De La fuente.
ReplyDeleteHANEN IS JUST WARMING UP. WENT TO COURT AND THE ONES STILL UNDER THE RADAR ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE TO ROB THE PUBLIC.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU HANEN
Hmm I wonder if Marc Rosenthal's old dirty attorney pal Norman Jolly is on the list...although he did testify against Rosenthal to save his weasely skin.
ReplyDeleteRight on, Judge Hanen!
He needs to look in the mirror, he isn't exactly innocent of corruption himself,
