A Travis County grand jury Friday indicted Gov.Rick Perry
<http://www.statesman.com/s/news/politics/rick-perry/> on two charges
related to his effort last year to force *District Attorney Rosemary
Lehmberg to* resign *after her drunken driving arrest.*
Grand jurors charged Perry, 64, with abuse of official capacity, a
first-degree felony, and coercion of a public servant, a third-degree
felony. The first charge carries a punishment of 5-99 years and a fine of
up to $10,000. The second charge is punishable by 2-10 years and a fine of
up to $10,000.
*The indictment stems from Perry’s threat last summer to withhold $7.5
million in state money from Lehmberg’s office unless she step down – a
threat he later carried out by vetoing an appropriation in the state
budget.*
Mary Anne Wiley, General Counsel for Perry, said in a statement following
the indictment: “The veto in question was made in accordance with the veto
authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution. We will
continue to aggressively defend the governor’s lawful and constitutional
action, and believe we will ultimately prevail.”
Immediately, after the indictment was announced, Perry, who is poised to
make a second run for president, tweeted: “Help RickPAC elect candidates
who support a strong border, new jobs, smaller gov’t, and fiscal
responsibility.”
The special prosecutor in the case, San Antonio attorney Michael McCrum,
said he was confident with the strength of the charges filed against Perry.
“There has been an immense amount of work that has gone into my
investigation up until this point,” he told reporters after announcing the
indictment. “I have interviewed over 40 people who were related in some way
to the events that happened.”
He later added: “I looked at the law. I looked at the facts. and I
presented everything possible to the grand jury.”
Asked about his thoughts of Perry’s ability to do his job as governor,
McCrum said: “I took into account the fact that we’re talking about the
governor of a state and a governor of the state of Texas, which we all
love. Obviously that carries a level of importance, but when it gets down
to it, the law is the law, and the elements are the elements.”
