Sheesh


I had a post last week about "Racehorse" Haynes being back in the courtroom. He was defending a 41 year old woman who had consensual (but illegal) sex with a 16 year old boy.

Well she was found guilty and yesterday the sentence was handed down.

Count I: 13 years in the pen
Count II: 10 years in the pen
Count III: Probation.

But, get this: The judge stacked the 13 year and 10 year sentence. She will now become eligible for parole after she serves half of that 23 year sentence. That's insane. (And each "count" normally means a different sexual act.)

Williamson County (Georgetown) would be a horrifying place to practice law.
