HOUSTON CRIMINAL DEFENSE & DWI DEFENSE ATTORNEY BLOG

The Napa County DA in California announced that no charges would be filed against Oakland Raiders head coach, Tom Cable. Cable had been alleged to have assaulted Raiders assistant coach, Randy Hansen.

I applaud the Napa DA for not pursuing a case that it felt ultimately could not be proven by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. However, I wonder if Tom Cable was not the head coach of the Oakland Raiders, if he would not have been charged and facing prosecution for assault in this matter? In Harris County, I’ve seen situations where the State had far less evidence to prove its case than what the Napa DA’s Office possessed and yet still pursued prosecution. Makes you wonder if prosecutors at least in some instances are really “seeking that justice be done” or seeking something else. Just a thought!
