JUDGE ABEL LIMAS
IT STARTED HERE BUT WHERE WILL IT END?
While the Brownsville Herald keeps ace reporter Emma Perez-Trevino muzzled and strait-jacketed, Juan "El Ruckmaker" Montoya, the publisher, editor and janitor of the award-winning blog El Rrun Rrun, breaks one story after another in a journalistic tornado of devastating proportions.
The intrepid writer, whose bold predictions have always proven true in the past, including the blockbusting scoop on former DA Armando Villalobos' fall, published on his site that four more Cameron County bigwigs will bite the dust next week.
"Sources, who have proven credible in the past, are telling us that this coming week we will see the unsealing of at least four federal indictments involving members of the judiciary and at least one female elected official," revealed Montoya in his Thursday edition.
"The only details we have are that among those named in the indictments will be at least two state district judges, one county-court-at-law judge and a female elected official."
Montoya then rattles off a list of present and possible future criminals who at one time represented the cream of the Cameron County legal profession: Abel Limas, Jim Solis, Ray Marchan, Joe Valle, Charles Willette, Eddie Trevino, Arturo Nelson, David Sanchez, Leonel Alejandro, Elia Cornejo-Lopez, Armando Villalobos and Eddie Lucio.
Montoya's latest insider article has precipitated a parlor game of unprecedented excitement: Who will be the newest members to gain ignominious entry into this corrupt club?
"Based on my knowledge of the players, I am saying that the Feds will indict State District Judges Leonel Alejandro and David Sanchez, County Court-at-Law Judge David Gonzalez and Cameron County District Court Aurora de la Garza," offered Justo Leyes, Brownsville Blues' legal expert.
"I have heard the names of State District Judges Arturo Nelson and Elia Cornejo-Lopez, former County Court-at-law Daniel Robles and Justice of the Peaces Linda Salazar and Urine Hernandez, but I believe that there is more substantial rather than circumstantial evidence against Alejandro, Sanchez, Gonzalez and De la Garza," continued Leyes who isn't in Montoya's league but knows the game as well as any of the other lesser competitors.
"When will these indictments stop? I suppose when the Feds have indicted every attorney in Cameron County. Is there a more crooked profession in South Texas? They pride themselves as being the region's most educated individuals, yet that have proven to be the most ignorant in their lust for easy money. A pox on all their houses!"
Juan "El Ruckmaker" Montoya, STIJA's Man of the Year and South Texas' most influential journalist, has asserted on his blog El Rrun Rrun that State District Judge David "Yeti" Sanchez will soon resign. He is the brother of County Commissioner Dan "Sasquatch" Sanchez.
The two have been active in the corrupt and incompetent Cameron County Democratic Party for several years. The judge first emerged politically as the party's chairman while the commissioner first served notice that he would be a force when he captured a JP post. As twins, they both share the same ambition gene.
"As the fireworks burst across the skies of Cameron County and resonate across the delta, we have heard that David Sanchez will be next county jurist to call it quits as we head in to 2013," wrote Montoya to commence the new year with fireworks of his own.
"Some feel that Sanchez's resignation might well be linked to the testimony resulting from the trial of disgraced State District Judge Abel Limas, who has pleaded guilty to racketeering and was one of the witnesses in the federal trial of Brownsville attorney Ray Marchan."
In a startling declaration, Limas insisted under oath that State Judges Leonel Alejandro, Arturo Nelson, Elia Cornejo-Lopez and Sanchez were as corrupt as he. Most pundits dismissed Limas' words as the desperate tactics of an individual resorting to any strategy to save his own hide, but with the sudden and unexpected retirement of Alejandro, Limas' accusations are gaining a credibility that has the entire Cameron County judiciary shaking in their snakeskin boots.
"Who is the real culprit for the Cameron County Democratic Party and the judiciary's steep descent into the abyss?" posed Justo Leyes, Brownsville Blues' legal expert. "This is the monster that former County Judge and Democratic Chairperson Gilberto 'Hooters' Hinojosa created.
"Hinojosa promoted a quid-pro-quo philosophy among his fellow attorneys, pussy sometimes sufficient payment. Hinojosa has a criminal mentality who has escaped, in the State Senator "Sucio" Eddie Lucio tradition, the official designation of crook.
"His less adept sympathisers have lacked Hinojosa's stealthful cunning, but his failed leadership has cost the party at the polls where the Republicans have enjoyed success in elections for both Congress and Cameron County Judge as the voters have rejected electing Hinojosa's henchmen."
The Brownsville Herald, which offered convenient cover for Alejandro's mysterious departure, has maintained a deafening silence on Sanchez's feared fate. Reporter Emma Perez-Trevino is the daily's best, but she is seldom a match for the ubiquitous and merciless Montoya.
