Isassi v. State
A county attorney did not commit improper influence during multiple
conversations with court personnel regarding the possible prosecution
of his aunt for evading arrest with a vehicle. The defendant did contact court personnel and advised them that the
arresting constable was under investigation, and that the assistant
district attorney did not intend to prosecute his aunt for that reason,
however there was no evidence that the he offered to do anything, as
county attorney, in exchange for a favorable result in his aunt's case.
Neither was there evidence that the defendant gave any information to
court personnel that those individuals could not lawfully use in
determining how to exercise their official discretion in the case.
