		<description><![CDATA[Power Corrupted and the Struggle for the Rule of Law

By: Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd and Paralegal Billy Sinclair

Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos recently announced that local defense attorneys will be provided with copies “offense report(s)’ prepared by police in criminal cases. This new policy in Harris County, which should have been standard practice for years, is slowing making its way to the court rooms.  Of course, the policy comes with caveats such as confidentiality agreements, redactions etc.  This disclosure policy removes another corrupt vestige from the era of former District Attorney Charles “Chuck” Rosenthal—an era when suppression of favorable evidence, perjured testimony, manufactured evidence, and corruption of forensic evidence passed for the “rule of law” as his assistant district attorneys competed in a “conviction at any cost” prosecutorial environment.]]></description>
