DeLay: "sufficient evidence" to convict

nico at think progress shines a light on the facts... (think progress is good about that...)

Ronnie Earle didn’t issue the indictment against Tom DeLay. A grand jury did. And as it turns out, the jury foreman William Gibson is a former sheriff’s deputy who praises DeLay specifically for his “aggressiveness.” Via Billmon, we see that Gibson spoke out yesterday:

"I like his aggressiveness and everything, and I had nothing against the House majority man, but I felt that we had enough evidence, not only me, but the other grand jury members," Gibson said.

[...]

"We would not have handed down an indictment. We would have no-billed the man, if we didn’t feel there was sufficient evidence," said Gibson.
