Wren Collective and Joe Gonzales (San Antonio, Anton: high crime, credit, attorneys)

While some individuals anticipated this outcome due to the financial support behind Joe’s election campaign, it is remarkable, and credit is due to KSAT12 for their coverage.

In the diversion policy, the email suggests the DA’s Office should not prosecute low-level offenses. That’s something Gonzales enacted until a new state law — the ‘Rogue Prosecutor” law — forced Gonzales to change course.

Also known as House Bill 17, that law allows courts to remove district attorneys for misconduct if they choose not to pursue certain types of crimes.

In other emails, district attorneys from across the country were also included with the Wren Collective. One of those was Travis County DA Jose Garza, who is facing a petition to remove him from office under the so-called Rogue Prosecutor law.

Another email included a Word document. It is unclear who wrote the document or when it was sent, but it talks about San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.

Hopefully San Antonio will wake up and stop voting for high crime.
