RAYMONDVILLE, TEXAS (AP) -- A judge has removed a South Texas prosecutor from any cases related to Vice President Dick Cheney, a state senator and a private prison group, saying the district attorney is biased.
Presiding Judge Manuel Banales ordered Juan Angel Guerra to stop any work on cases related to the already dismissed indictments against Cheney, state Sen. Eddie Lucio and The GEO Group, a private prison company.
Guerra will not be able to speak to the grand jury without the presence of the pro tem district attorney and Guerra must immediately relinquish all related files to that temporary prosecutor.
