The Minority Report

Yesterday Jurors in the State of Texas versus Priscilla Slade case announced that they were deadlocked 6-6 .  State District Judge Brock Thomas declared a mistrial in the case.  Supporters of Slade call it justice while critics say this sets a bad precedent for those that seek to fiscally mismanage state and student dollars.  Most agree that it’s time to move away from this negative publicity that continues to plague the university.  The prosecutors in the case have declared that they are going to retry the ousted President, while others cry to leave well enough alone.  I personally never felt she should have went to jail whether she was found guilty or not.   Sometimes I think the results of justice being carried out can be more damaging then an actual conviction.  Innocent or Guilty,  Priscilla Slade can never again work as an university president or even as an accountant, the damage has been done, and the mountain has fallen.  Let’s move on for the good of the university.
