The kicker is, he was beaten by a Democrat, and liberals are far more lenient than conservative Republicans, so as he saw it, "He was releasing everybody," public defender Steven Halpert told the Houston Chronicle. "Apparently he was saying that's what the voters wanted."

So, he released them until a rescheduled Jan. 4 court date. Who can blame him? The voters fired him for being too tough on crime, I guess.

In billiards they would call it "cushioning the ball". I would call it indirect nonverbal communication.

If the rest of this guy is like this single story, I could come to terms with him easily.
