New Judge in DeLay Case Faces Questions
- By APRIL CASTRO, Associated Press Writer
Friday, November 4, 2005


(11-04) 09:46 PST Austin, Texas (AP) --


A new judge has been appointed to preside over Rep. Tom DeLay's campaign finance trial after two judges stepped away from their involvement in the case because of their own political contributions.


But judicial wrangling left the validity of Thursday's appointment of semiretired Senior Judge Pat Priest of San Antonio in question.


Priest, a Democrat, was selected to replace District Judge Bob Perkins, who was removed Tuesday at DeLay's request because of his contributions to Democrats.


Republican Administrative Judge B.B. Schraub had been named earlier Thursday to select a new presiding judge after Perkins was removed, but he withdrew at the request of Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle because of his political contributions to GOP candidates.


Schraub then asked state Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson to name the new judge and Jefferson selected Priest.


But at about the same time, the district attorney asked that Jefferson, too, withdraw from the process. Earle's office had no immediate comment Friday on the selection of Priest or what the next step would be.
