Brickbat: Deep in the Heart of Texas

A Texas jury has found Clay County Sheriff Jeffrey Lyde guilty of official oppression and tampering with evidence for holding a man in jail longer than allowed by law. He faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine for each charge. A judge suspended Lyde from office in February following unrelated allegations of sexual harassment by some female employees of the sheriff's office.

Official oppression and evidence tampering.
So, kidnapping and then lying to cover it up, as a government official, and it's only a misdemeanor.
What do we think the odds are that he gets any jail time?
I basically make about $14,000 to $18,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it copy below web…

I need more information then given here before I comment on this lying, sexist piece of crap.
Likely true. A better connected sheriff the next county over might well be getting help covering up misdeeds.
Needs to get a job with the Capitol Police. Seems like a great fit.

After arrest you have to arraign within 48 hours and it looks like he arrested, falsified the records so no one would realize they were in jail, and left town. He's also been charged by several people for sexual harassment. Sounds like a real piece of work. They offered him resignation but he refused.
