Jay
Hileman, an assistant U.S. Attorney, had been assigned to the case.
Houston defense attorney Gus
Saper, who represents alleged Aryan gang leader Terry
Ross Blake, confirmed prosecutor Hileman notified him he was no longer on
the case.
"I'd say it's not a regular thing. You know people get transferred and moved
around the (prosecutor's) office, so people get moved on and off cases," said
Saper. "But I would say this situation is probably a little bit different from
all of those."
State and federal authorities are
investigating whether the killings of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike
McLelland and his wife, along with the January slaying of his assistant, Mark
Hasse, are linked to alleged threats by white supremacist gang members to
retaliate against law enforcement.
The weekend slayings at the
prosecutor's home have prompted stepped up security measures to protect a number
of Texas prosecutors, including Harris County District Attorney Mike
Anderson.
The federal racketeering case
against 34 members of the racist gang, a three-year investigation spearheaded by
the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI, was announced in
November by Assistant U.S. Attorney General Lanny
Breuer and U.S. Attorney Kenneth
Magidson. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/U-S-prosecutor-quits-Aryan-case-citing-security-4404136.php
Obama will comment on the Treyvon Martin murder case but not the killing of prosecutors in Texas and how it affects the criminal justice system.
What a pathetic excuse of a president we have in the United States. We ought to be ashamed that the GOP couldn't produce a cadaver to beat this incompetent fool of a president.
