CLAIM: Adrian Peterson Indictment Inconsistent With Texas Law. “When I asked for clarification between the clear text of the state statute and his words regarding ‘exceeding some community standard’ he said the ‘case law’ had in essence changed the law to match his statement. When I asked for a case citation we could use for the story, he became flustered and hung up. As a journalist, having an interviewee hang up or walk out is a good sign you’re on the right track. The DA’s behavior is ironically similar to that of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who secured an indictment of the Texas governor for performing a duty clearly described in the Texas Constitution, vetoing a spending bill.”
Any Texas lawyers want to weigh in on this?
