WASHINGTON - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's legal team asked Friday for his Texas indictments to be set aside, accusing the prosecutor of misconduct.
DeLay's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, alleged in a court motion that Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle unlawfully participated in grand jury deliberations when he went to a second grand jury last week to seek a second indictment against the congressman.

O'Brien's lawyer filed a motion arguing that the cocktail of sodium thiopental, pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride used in Texas' executions causes excessive and excruciating pain and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment. This isn't a novel legal argument. Attorneys for most prisoners facing the death penalty file that same brief; the court almost always swats it aside. This time, a majority of the judges decided that O'Brien's lawyer might be on to something, and they canceled O'Brien's execution date.

HOUSTON (AP) -- A prominent Texas prosecutor who fell from grace after the mistaken release of racist, political and pornographic e- mails found on his office computer will not face charges stemming from the scandal, his replacement said Tuesday.

Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners. Part I also reviews the many ways in which the minority owner could have protected himself -- if he had the foresight to do so. Part II then reviews the main statutory and judicial responses to the problem of minority owner oppression and discusses their inadequacy. After discussing some other suggesti...
