From the story:

Visiting Judge Sid Harle from Bexar County ruled in favor of recusing Collin County Judge John Roach Jr. from Karmelo Anthony's appeal of his murder conviction.

Nineteen-year-old Anthony was found guilty of murder for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Roach enforced strict rules for the courtroom during the trial, including limiting media access and restricting public access to the small number of seats in the courtroom left over once media and family members were seated. He also issued a gag order barring people involved in the trial from posting about it on social media or speaking to the media, citing the intense scrutiny of the trial and its potential impact on its outcome.

Two days after the verdict — during the time period where Anthony could file a motion for a new trial — Roach gave an interview with WFAA about the trial. Anthony's new defense attorney, Russel Wilson, had argued Roach violated judicial conduct rules by giving the interview.

Harle said he believed Roach was attempting to educate the public, an exception to conduct rules, but said it didn't pass the test of a neutral third party's view of his impartiality.

"Under that limited finding, I'm going to grant the recusal," he said.

Hip, hip..

Where do people in their 30’s go on a Saturday night for dancing, good vibes, and good drinks that isn’t in bishop arts or deep ellum? I’m curious because I’m having a difficult time finding a good bar

I’ve been to a couple like datey Dallas but trying to find the right one that works for me has been a mess. Im having bad lucking picking so I thought I’d ask you guys.

Would anyone be interested in taking my ticket to The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX tonight at 2:30 AM?
I’ve had a long day and I just know myself—I’m gonna fall asleep, and that’s not fair to everyone else who actually wants to enjoy the movie.
I’d rather it go to someone who’ll actually make it through the whole thing. DM me if you’re interested.

Please sign this if you don’t think it should happen.

Oh boy, idk if this is a good idea😂 but I have one free ticket to the 70mm The Odyssey showing at 3pm. I’m going with my Dad. My wife has a meeting now and can’t make it with us.

If you have been wanting to see it and haven’t been able to snag a ticket this is your chance.

Good seats too, it’s not on the edge of the row.

Please only respond if you 100% can make it, I’d hate to say yes to someone and they back out and the seat goes empty.

The rudeness of drivers around the Medical City area is horrendous. Try to remember that many of us are not from here and are already in a stressful situation (especially the children’s hospital) so perhaps keep that in mind as we navigate unfamiliar roads with the added stress of sick family members. I know you can do better.

FYI you can stream the movie at home if you insist on talking through all of it like you’re in your own living room.

probably the worst theater etiquette experience i’ve had in a long time.

Trashy and Entitled. You should be ashamed.

I’ve noticed a major surge lately in people bringing their pet dogs into spaces where they clearly don’t belong, but this weekend at NorthPark Center hit a whole new level of absurd.

A young woman walking with her elementary school-aged child had her dog up on the third floor of a major department store. Predictably, the dog lifted its leg and soaked a lower rack of clothing on display.

Instead of asking an employee for cleaning supplies, apologizing, or offering to buy the damaged items, she literally looked at it, turned around, and kept on walking as if nothing happened. What kind of example is that setting for her kid?

It’s bad enough bringing non-service animals into retail stores, but expecting retail workers to clean up after your pet's bathroom breaks because you can't be bothered is next-level entitlement.

Dog urine on clothing and display rack

And change your child's diaper - it was so full that it hung out of the poor child's shorts. Look at yourself and try to become a better person.

That's it. Someone good and south of 635.

It has to be from this heat!

Edit: I’m in North Dallas
