San Antonio lawyer bribed Bexar judge
SAN ANTONIO — A San Antonio lawyer pleaded guilty Monday to bribing a state district judge, admitting that he gave the jurist cash, paid for repairs on his personal vehicles and even selling one of his Mercedes for him, all in exchange for favorable rulings on cases.
Newly unsealed documents in the case of Alberto “Al” Acevedo Jr., 60, say he bribed then-144th District Judge Angus McGinty.
“The things of value included cash, car repairs, the sale of a vehicle belonging to Judge McGinty, the registration of a vehicle purchased by Judge McGinty, fuel, and a car wash,” Acevedo's plea deal states. “In exchange for these bribes, Judge McGinty provided favorable judicial rulings which benefited me and my clients. Judge McGinty provided these favorable judicial rulings as requested, and as opportunities arose. These favorable rulings included leniency at sentencing and less restrictive conditions of release."
This judge fixed cases for a car wash?!
Same-sex divorce filed in Bexar County
SAN ANTONIO — As Texas' ban on gay marriage is being reviewed by state and federal courts, a lesbian couple filed what is likely the first same-sex divorce in Bexar County last month.
As the Express-News' Patrick Danner reported, the case involves two women, Allison Leona Flood Lesh and Kristi Lyn Lesh, who were married in 2010 in Washington and have a child.
This is a good example why lawyers should support gay marriage. It will increase the number of divorce cases, so some of these newly licensed lawyers can have some work to do.
Child Organ Harvesting And Trafficking-Linked Arrest Made In Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police in Mexico's western state of Michoacan detained an alleged member of the Knights Templar cartel who is suspected of kidnapping children to harvest their organs, an official said Monday.
Michoacan state Public Safety Secretary Carlos Castellanos Becerra alleged that Manuel Plancarte Gaspar was part of the cartel's organ-trafficking ring. The ring would kidnap children and take them to rented homes with medical equipment where their organs were removed, Castellanos Becerra charged.
"We have several statements in open investigations that point to a network of several suspects who would identify people with certain characteristics, especially children, and kidnap them," he said.
