Judge George Walks Free on Appeal

Former Fort Bend County Judge KP George, convicted of felony money laundering and sentenced to six months in jail, is walking free — thanks to an immediate appeal that could drag on for up to three years. His attorney argues the case is politically motivated, claiming George’s life and reputation are ruined, while the DA, up for re-election, insists the conviction is solid. Though George maintains his innocence and faces five years of probation and 200 hours of community service on hold, a separate misdemeanor case was dismissed. New details reveal the DA brought in a special prosecutor who previously worked on a similar case involving a former Congressman — now overturned — and the defense is comparing the funds in question to legal campaign loans. Both sides are confident in their positions as the lengthy appeal looms. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
