    Texas midterms: Republican judge releases juvenile defendants en masse after losing election to Democrat

    A Republican judge released nearly every juvenile defendant who appeared before him the morning after he lost his re-election campaign in the US midterms.

    Glenn Devlin reportedly said it was “what the voters wanted” to justify his actions.

    After asking the offenders if they planned on killing anyone, when they responded with a negative, he is said to have let them go.
    Glenn Devlin reportedly said it was “what the voters wanted” to justify his actions. The juvenile court judge in Harris County, Texas, sparked concern among criminal justice advocates about his decision making. In court, state prosecutors raised concerns over the releases of the juveniles, who were accused of everything from misdemeanours to violent crimes, The Houston Chronicle reported.

    I know him. I opened the link thinking please don’t be my wife’s uncle, very well could have been. He’s was my wife’s uncle partner in their law firm years ago. Very conservative, Republican judges took a beating in Harris county on Tuesday, a lot of unqualified individuals will be sitting the bench in 2019. Ignorant people voting for ignorant people. If there was an open spot for a Democrat for a judge position last Tuesday and I would have been able to get my name on the ballot I would be preparing for my new job today. I promise I am not qualified to be a judge.

      Harris County took a beating on Tuesday for sure. The straight ticket hurt a lot of good people and put in new judges that are going to turn the justices system in Harris county upside down. One thing I did hear is that a lot of people that voted straight ticket do not even know the who the new county judge is or ever heard of her unreal. Hang on Harris county it's going to get interesting.

        Stupid and childish.

        Actions like this have put us in this spot and will continue to be the driving force of today's politics.

        You dont compromise your integrity because of an election. He wouldn't have done that if he was reelected.

            The juveniles have not been set free, found not guilty, their court date has been reset for January or later when the new Judge will be sworn in and can hear the case.

              Yep......lots of mental midgets on both sides of the aisle. But, that has been obvious for years now. I can only hope folks start to see it as it is.
