No one ever accused a lawyer of setting their standards too high.
A Galveston County prosecutor with a reputation for winning lengthy prison sentences for drunken drivers has been suspended with pay after being charged with driving while intoxicated in a holiday season crackdown on the island last week.
Prosecutor Lester Blizzard was arrested on Harborside Drive around 11:15 p.m. last Thursday and was suspended by outgoing Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk pending an investigation.
Blizzard, who has tried numerous DWI cases, is known for successfully prosecuting DWI violators for long prison terms and for life sentences in some cases.
Let’s hope he gets a prosecutor who is as zealous as he has been.
Don’t hold your breath.
A sheriff's deputy was also arrested for DWI last Thursday at the same location shortly before Blizzard.
So, what’s going on down there in Galveston? It seems the law is not taken to heart by Texas public servants.
How very unfortunate that a public servant is caught breaking the law.
