Audio Devon Anderson, February 6, 2016
Two days after David Daleiden made his first court appearance in Harris County, Devon Anderson spoke to the Kingwood Area Republican Women at their Mardi Gras Ball. She told the crowd that three of the “best prosecutors in the office” were on the case. With sixty years between these three prosecutors, Anderson was confident that justice would prevail.
Anderson reminded the crowd that she must “follow the law.” She acknowledged that she was being asked to dismiss the cases against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt; but, she said that she would not do so and had no “legal reason” to dismiss the cases.
“I am a Christian . . . My faith gives me strength every day,” said Anderson. She emphasized that she hoped Daleiden and Merritt would accept the pretrial diversion because it was a “sweet deal” and would “end this spectacle.”
Then, Anderson went back to her faith, telling the crowd again that she gets strength from her faith: “God is an amazing force in my life. When you most need Him, He steps forward.”
Anderson added that she was reading To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, with her daughter. “I feel like Atticus Finch,” Anderson told the crowd. Atticus Finch is a fictional character in the book based on Harper Lee’s father, Amasa Coleman Lee, an attorney in Alabama who represented black defendants. The book focuses on Finch’s representation of Tom Robinson, an innocent black man wrongfully accused of sexual assault.
Anderson specifically cited a famous quote from chapter eleven of the beloved book where Scout, the daughter of Atticus, is speaking with her father about the importance of Robinson’s case:
They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinion,” said Atticus, “but, before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience.
Devon left out a crucial preceding sentence by Atticus: “This case, Tom Robinson’s case, is something that goes to the essence of a man’s conscience – Scout, I couldn’t go to church and worship God if I didn’t try to help that man.”
Anderson concluded the presentation by telling the Kingwood group: “You’re the kind of people we want on jury duty.”
Devon Anderson dismissed the indictments against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt yesterday.

Once again, it’s a “conscious” issue that’s causing a problem. Whether it’s “The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience” or “Vote your conscious,” there are some serious ethical issues here! How can a DA lie to fellow Republican women without batting an eye? Practice makes perfect. If Devon Anderson is a woman of faith, one has to ask…faith in what?! Geesh! Devon Anderson needs to resign! Between jailing a rape victim, being in cahoots with Planned Parenthood, unlawfully extending a grand jury, charging two pro-life heroes with fake federal charges, etc., etc., Devon Anderson owes many an apology and the public her resignation. Apparently Anderson’s conscience is skewed. DA = Despicable Anderson.
Unfortunately, her opponent in November is Kim Ogg who is a lesbian. After our experience fighting the (Un)Equal Rights Ordinance foisted on us by our lesbian mayor Annise Parker I am reluctant to have another lesbian in office in Houston.
Beverly, have you met Belinda Hill or anyone else Devon or Mike has hired at the DA’s office? Belinda Hill is the first assistant, which means everyone but the DA answers to her. You need to get Belinda’s take on whether or not lesbians should work in the DA’s office. You may also want to get catch Mary McFaden who is speaking at noon at the Downtown Pachyderm. I think you could get an interesting perspective from her about lesbians working at the office and lesbians running for Republican Criminal Court benches.
I encourage you to meet Kim Ogg and get her perspective on the former Mayor, Mike Anderson, Devon, Chuck Rosenthal, Johnny Holmes, who hired all of them. I think you will have an extremely en-lightning conservation. Be sure to ask Kim how well she knew Mike.
I also encourage you to read this article where I talk about the hiring of Ann Johnson. She heads up human trafficking for the DA’s office.
God Bless,
Have a great day!
At this point I don’t care about Kim Ogg’s sexual orientation. Devon Anderson locks up victims (without due process!), prosecutes whistleblowers, protects murderers and covers for corrupt politicians. She is a vile, evil person and an utter embarrassment to out community. We need to vote her out of office.
