This is infuriating. A case that once carried life without parole collapses into Class A misdemeanors, a 60‑day sentence, and he walks in 29—while a child and family are left holding the trauma. It reeks of institutional softness toward powerful insiders, backroom expediency over truth, and politics eclipsing justice. Hearing “guilty” means little when accountability is negotiated down to a long weekend. Texans deserve a system that prioritizes victims’ safety and trust over headline management and leniency for the well‑connected. And another thing: was it Sheriff Parnell McNamara who set the 2‑for‑1 or 3‑for‑1 jail credit that let him out in 29 days? If that policy came from the sheriff’s office, say it plainly; if not, who authorized those credits and why? Transparency now.
