" a hard nosed prosecutor" is not a fair description....we can only hope somewhere down this road both he and Anderson get what we all know they deserve

Great. Let's give this guy a promotion for his despicable conduct. Actually, as a bully he will be great in this position. If he doesn't get it, Perry owes him big for sweeping the "executing an innocent man" under the table. Let's appoint him to a judgeship!

Are you kidding me? This man is an evil, vile, despicable form of human flesh. We are considering putting him over a decision making process concerning humans. Has he not done enough damage to human lives? Has he not destroyed enough people? Who do we write to contest this decision? This will be a sad decision if it comes about. We reward him for refusing to uphold justice and destroy families? Who in their right mind would even consider this?

I guess the Gov couldn't find any position he could appoint him to.

Sir, Barry Schlech is looking for someone to carry documents for him on The Innocence Project. Seems like an appropriate deficit in your résumé.

Instead of prosecuting crimes committed in prison, he ought to be one of the inmates for his role in covering up the illegal shenanigans of the Williamson County Commissioners after his insider appointment, as well as for his obstruction of justice in fighting the DNA testing which gained Morton's exoneration.

Until people like Bradley receive public and severe punishment, this prosecutorial misconduct will continue. His illegal and immoral behavior enabled the real murderer to go free and commit yet another murder. Therefore, Bradley is an accessory to murder and should be prosecuted, perhaps by another overzealous, unethical, immoral prosecutor, and penalized accordingly.

Do a bad job, get a job with the state. Perry keeps repeating this facade for unqualified Republicans

OH SHOCK! Our sleazy governor appointed one of his sleazy cronies to another job after the voters had enough.
