Prosecutors Drop Charges Against Activists Behind Planned Parenthood Videos
The Washington Post: Last Charges Dropped In Case Over Planned Parenthood Videos
“The grand jury took the investigation where the facts led it, however Texas law limits what
can be investigated after a grand jury extension order is issued,” District Attorney Devon Anderson said in a statement. “In light of this and after careful research and review, this office dismissed the indictments.” Anderson, a Republican who ran as a “proud, pro-life Texan mother of two” during the 2014 election, supported the charges when they were handed down in January, stressing at the time that at the outset of the investigation, she stated that “we must go where the evidence leads us.” That didn’t sit well with many members of her party.
