Murray Newman has been anonymously writing an entertaining blog about being a prosecutor in Harris County; now that he's been canned (he supported incoming DA Pat Lykos' primary opponent), it's clear that a) the blogging will continue, and b) it will still be entertaining.
Witness his latest scoop: Lykos has ruled that pants suits are fine for female prosecutors, but "She is concerned with some of the short skirts she's seen."
Now that's something you'd never hear Chuck Rosenthal say.
