PART FOUR: Rusty Hight, the "Sex Offender Judge"

It is Wednesday today, the day when most of the crowds of regular folks are not in the 75th District Court to hear what deals Judge C.T. "Rusty" Hight maybe cutting with convicted criminals. What an appropriate day for the second installment on the story about one of the cases Judge Hight does NOT want voters to hear.

Here it is:

As rare and inexcusable as it is for a judge to declare judicial clemency to anyone, much less someone who is a sex offender, I can hear those who plan on voting for C.T. “Rusty” Hight no matter what facts are revealed about his tenure as the 75th District Court Judge. They will ignore Rusty’s past history of cheating and changing documents to win a custody case when he was an attorney and other things they have heard. They will immediately assume “there must be a good reason”. The reason I feel confident some people will be like this is because I tend to be that way. But for those open-minded people who choose to think the best unless something is proven otherwise, please note that what you are about to read about how Hight handled this case is much worse than just a simple but rare declaration of clemency.

The 75th District Court docket in the criminal case State of Texas vs. Jose Gregory Moore indicates the defense plea was nolo contendere and he was found guilty and given ten years probation by the then 75th District Court Judge Zeke Zbranek. The criminal docket indicates that the court was made aware that in about the sixth year of Jose Gregory Moore’s probation for indecency with a child by contact (January 14, 2000 is the date noted), Moore was working in a Houston Sport’s Club and the Houston Police Department filed a report that a complaint was filed by a woman claiming he “fondled” her.

So what does all this have to do with Rusty Hight? Is it scandalous that Hight’s brother-in-law gave such a light sentence in light of Jose Gregory Moore’s past? Is that the point being made?

First point… The Zbranek family and Hight have been proud standard bearers for the Democratic Party and the type of liberalism that is infamous for going easy on criminals. But the idea that judicial clemency is rare and that it is even rarer to see it applied to a sex offender who pleaded guilty makes it seem almost unfathomable to think that any Judge in this country would give clemency and wipe the slate clean of someone who PLEAD GUILTY AND ALSO HAD A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST HIM WHILE HE WAS ON PAROLE!

Next point… On March 22, 2004 Hight signed the Order of Discharge for this sexual predator, Moore and October 30, 2006 Hight signed Cause #F20239 which granted Moore’s motion to terminate community supervision and set aside the conviction. Hight allowed Moore to withdraw his plea and he was “released from all penalties and disabilities resulting from his conviction.”

Effectively a one two punch by Zeke Zbranek and Carol “Rusty” Hight. A one two punch on/at the people of Liberty County. The origiginal sentence was too light. And , rather than  revoke probation, the violation of probation seems to have been ignored and Jose Gregory Moore seems to have gotten special treatment.

This case and C.T. “Rusty” Hight’s behavior has an even more bizarre twist and in it we will expose as we continue to tell the story of what some may call… “The Sex Offender’s Judge”.

Another question in this series, where was Liberty County District Attorney, Mike Little in all this?  Why wasn't Mike Little protecting the people of Liberty County and the State of Texas?  The same careless disregard for the very people who voted him and Hight into office.

This thing whole story gets even better, or should we say- gets a great deal worse.

Stay tuned.

I don't see how this could get much worse. All politics and individuals aside, I can't stomach a child molester. They need to be locked up to protect our young people. I don't care what any judge thinks personally about rehabilitation, they have committed a crime. I don't lnow if you can rehabilitate someone with a sick mind like some of the sex offenders, but even if you can they owe a debt to society that goes way beyond 10 years of probation.

Okay let' say this story is true - and I am not saying it is until you show me some documentation- what does Judge Hight say in his defense?

Judge Hight's defense? Are you kidding me! We are not suppose to lknow this kind of stuff. I guarantee you he would do anything to have kept this out of the public eye. He is probably pulling similar sh*t on Wednedays all of the time. I just wonder what he gets out of it. Or is he just stupid?

Bottom line, these DA's and Judges you speak of are no better than the criminals they let go. Birds of a feather...

Some of these people here are getting money to do this. That is the only wat this could be happening. You know the old saying, Money talks and BS walks. Money is the only thing that will turn a person from the right way of thinking.

Nancy Pelosi is the poster child for personal hypocrisy. But she couldn't cause all this carnage without the votes of her fellow Dems in Congress--even the Blue Dogs who pretend to stand up for us while voting for Nancy's newest spending sprees. Unless we live in SF we cannot unseat this harpy, but we can toss out those who make up her majority and who themselves vote for her as Speaker. Consider the fear we must feel with this woman two heart beats from the presidency itself. God help us (but not the one Pelosi cites as her policy guide). We need to pull the rug out from underneth her by pulling her Democratic brothers and sisters off of the benches from which they judge. We need to defeat evr criminal loving one of them. At age 70,if Nancy Pelosi is eager to make this hell on earth, let the passage of time, not the changing of America be the end all to her journey.
