Collin County grand jurors' names mistakenly released in advance of Paxton case

A list of Collin County grand jurors was mistakenly released by an employee with the Collin County District Clerk’s Office.

The release violates a June 25 order by District Judge Chris Oldner that deemed the names and personal information of grand jurors in the current term to be confidential.

Grand jury proceedings are secret, but the names of those serving in this term are of particular interest because they will be hearing evidence, possibly as early as this month, alleging securities law violations by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Brian Wice, who was appointed along with Kent Schaffer as a special prosecutor in the Paxton case, said Thursday they were made aware of the release.

I wouldn't want to be on a grand jury threatening any felon (not only Paxton) if I know that there is a chance that I could be threatened while making a decision to indict or afterwards. If they fail to indict Paxton with all the evidence that has been collected then it is a travesty.

The jurors could all ask to be dismissed. And a controlled pool of possible jurors could be called; like peers of the person charged. Peers, that be, from Collin County.

They want the Grand Jurors to be intimidated by the brownshirts.

With open carrying everywhere, they can meet outside their front doors, visit their entire families, employers and neighbors now.

This is the legally corrupt, fascist state that Texas has become.
