Q & A Results "Ask me ANYTHING"

Georgia Kimmey Episode 6

This Episode I answered Kristy Waters' question about how to change a statute regarding liquor laws in her town of Lufkin, TX.
What authority does the Federal Govt. have over Texas liquor laws?
Why are so many counties in Texas different regarding their alcohol statutes?
How can a regular citizen get a law changed?

I also explain the meaning of commonly confused legal terms  for someone charged with their first felony; words like:  "Indicted" "Arraignment" "Discovery" "Voir Dire" and describe a scenario where the fictional Bryan, is stopped by law enforcement with dope in his car and two other passengers.  What to do, how it can play out, and what the process involves for someone who is trying to understand criminal procedure in Texas. In my next Q & A, I'll take the process even further and explain how plea hearings work. . .  Lots of good questions!

Finally, Megan Flores asked, "What was your most interesting case?"  Tough question!  One I particularly enjoyed working on was for the District Attorney's office - the TWO jury trials of Jarred Holland, for the murder of his girlfriend.  That was while I was in law school, interning for the DA, Clyde Herrington.  She got me thinking though, and there are a couple of others I'll have to record. More on those later.
