DeLay stands up for co-defendant
The lawmaker asks appeals court to reject Jim Ellis' launder indictment


Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau

AUSTIN - U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on Friday asked the 3rd Court of Appeals to throw out a money-laundering indictment against one of his co-defendants.

DeLay's lawyers filed a "friend of the court" brief in a case involving Jim Ellis, the director of DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority.

Ellis and Texans for a Republican Majority Executive Director John Colyandro were indicted on money-laundering charges in September 2004 — almost a year before they were reindicted along with DeLay.

DeLay's court filing notes he "stands charged with the same conduct and crime" as does Ellis.

A favorable ruling for Ellis would give senior District Judge Pat Priest reason to reconsider his ruling upholding the money-laundering indictment against DeLay.

and more like an end around.

i'm waiting for him to appeal to amnesty international or go on a hunger strike. they've tried everything else, even attempts to change the judge and jury.

Hitler committed suicide. He coudda have stood up for so o' dem guys in Nurenberg.

and if the Ellis guy continues to be a criminal defendant, he may turn, or something.

Now, take a look at this beaut from freeperville:

"It's infuriating. Every time an effective Republican politician arrives on the scene, the dimmed party methodically destroys them, one after the other. If Jesus Christ was a Republican they would crucify Him again."

Nice to know Project X is working. SHHHHHH!!!!!!

Their stupidity and blindness almost evokes compassion...

masochists...

thanks for posting that gem jjs.

Murder is very effective at getting rid of an obnoxious person, but I wouldn't advocate murder.

we see just how blind the freepers are. No way would Jesus ever be a Republican - it's the antithesis of everything he stood for! Did you fall over laughing when you found that post at FR?

I've got my devices darling. Machinery too..."
