LATE BREAKING NEWS: Judge removes Guerra as prosecutor for 5 of 9 criminal 
cases involving Vice President Cheney and Texas State Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr.

Texas Rangers to escort Guerra to court Friday morning after having been found 
in Mexico

ROBERT WILCOX Editor/Reporter

After being AWOL from the job and violating sections of the Texas Disciplinary 
Rules of Professional Conduct - Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel 
"Johnny Guerra" has been replaced in five (5) of the nine (9) criminal cases he 
convinced a grand jury to file against Vice President Dick Cheney, former 
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former U.S. Attorney Mervyn Mosbacker, state 
Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., District Judges Migdalia Lopez and Janet Leal, former 
Willacy D.A. Gustavo "Gus" Garza, and District Clerk Gilbert Lozano, along with 
GEO Corp., and former warden David Forrest.

Presiding District Judge J.Manuel Banales has appointed Asst. Cameron County to 
Alfredo Padilla to handle the cases for Mosbacker, Lopez, Leal, Garza, and 
Lozano due to Guerra being absent from court.

The judge found Guerra violated Section 3.08 of the rules of professional 
conduct, in that a victim (Guerra) can't prosecute five of the cases, where he 
could be called as a wtiness.

Guerra has telephoned in from Mexico and Houston to selected Texas media 
outlets claiming he did not know he was supposed to be in court yesterday 
afternoon.

The Texas Rangers will likely wait for Guerra to cross the international bridge 
near Reynosa or catch him driving on U.S. 77 southbound from Houston; either 
tonight or early tomorrow. He will then be taken into protective custody and 
escorted to court in Raymondville tomorrow morning.

Assuming he is not AWOL again; Guerra could continue as prosecutor for Vice 
President Cheney, Gonzales, Sen. Lucio, GEO Corp., and Forrest.

Attorney Michael Cowen, who is representing Sen. Lucio, got the court to agree 
to a trial date of Dec. 8th, as Lucio wants Guerra to personally try the case 
he lodged against him.
